Guaranteed Admission Agreements
Guaranteed Admission Agreements between Marymount Manhattan College and specific community colleges, provide students completing an A.A. and/or A.S. degree the satisfaction of knowing that all work completed at the two-year level, will transfer to MMC!
At Marymount Manhattan College, each Guaranteed Admission Agreement is unique. It is important for students to review the eligibility guidelines for the community college that they will be transferring from.
For students that take advantage of the guaranteed admission agreement, Marymount Manhattan College will waive our lower-level course requirements of the general education curriculum (24 out of 42 credits will be waived.) This would include courses in Math and Writing (English.) All students will also transfer into Marymount Manhattan College with junior class standing. However, all incoming students using this agreement will be required (in their first semester) to take a six-week Transfer Community Workshop course which is meant to assist them in acclimating to college life at Marymount Manhattan College. It should also be noted that for certain majors, this agreement does not automatically guarantee degree conferral within two years.
If you do not see your community college listed, we may not have established an agreement yet, or we may be in the process of finalizing one now. Feel free to contact your transfer admission counselor to find out if an agreement will be completed soon.
Participating Colleges

Students should continue in the same or similar program at Marymount Manhattan College or they do run the risk of nullifying the agreement. Prior to submitting a transfer application to Marymount Manhattan College, students should meet with transfer advisement representatives at Westchester Community College and admission representatives at Marymount Manhattan College to be sure they are on the path to being permitted to take advantage of the guaranteed admission agreement. While Marymount Manhattan College operates on a rolling admission basis, the sooner students meet with the proper staff the longer time there is to finalize their transfer admission status.

If a student at Westchester Community College has declared a major that is not currently listed as an option for the MMC/WCC guaranteed admission agreement, it could still be possible to add the agreement. However, this would need to be done on a case-by-case basis, and would require the student to meet with a Marymount Manhattan College transfer admission representative. Additionally, while A.A. / A.S. programs have been matched with specific B.A. / B.S. / B.F.A. programs, students, in some cases, will not be required to select that specific program for their Bachelor’s degree, but confirmation of a new program would need to be given by the transfer admission representative.
