Graduation Requirements

The requirements for successful completion of a baccalaureate degree include:

• 120 credits in a program of study, including 45 in the general core;
• a minimum grade-point average of 2.0 (C); some majors may have higher minimum GPA requirements;
• a minimum of 60 graded credits earned at Southern Vermont College.

Students who plan to earn a baccalaureate degree must declare their major prior to the completion of 45 credits. Students must declare a minor no later than the completion of 60 credits.

The requirements for successful completion of an associate degree include:

• 60 credits in a program of study, including 21 credits in the general core;
• a minimum grade-point average of 2.0 (C); some majors may have higher minimum cumulative GPA requirements;

To meet the requirements for an associate degree, students must either be enrolled in an associate degree program or declare their major upon earning 45 credits. A student who has exceeded 45 credits and who wishes to apply for an associate's degree must file a written appeal with Provost Albert DeCiccio, 802-447-6333, adeciccio@svc.edu.
