Why would a
student want to participate?
Participating
students have an on campus advisor while at York Technical College,
and they receive one-on-one advising from an admissions officer from
the College of Charleston. They are also given priority admission to
the College of Charleston as a sophomore as long as they meet
minimum GPA requirements.
Students pay
tuition and fees for full-time enrollment to York Technical
College. Students interested in receiving financial aid should
contact the Financial Resources Office at York Technical College.
Are you sure
credits from York Technical College will transfer?
Yes! One of the
greatest benefits from participation in this collaboration is
advanced advising to make certain your credits will transfer to the
College of Charleston. Check the link below for more information
about transfer credits.

Will AP/IB
credits or CLEP courses count in the College of Charleston
Collaboration Program?
Credit for AP/IB
classes and/or CLEP exams will be evaluated by the College of
Charleston. Please contact Laura Taylor at
taylors@cofc.edu for more information.
What do
placement scores mean? What happens if test scores indicate a need
for developmental courses?
Placement tests
in math, reading and writing are used to assess a student’s
readiness for college level course work. Once testing is complete,
a counselor will discuss these scores with the student and make
course recommendations.
When test scores
indicate a need for developmental courses, the student must
successfully complete those courses before enrolling in transfer
level courses. Students needing developmental courses are
encouraged to take those courses during the summer session in order
to be ready for transfer level courses for fall semester.
Developmental courses will not transfer to the College of Charleston
and are not included in the 31 hours of the College of Charleston
Collaboration program.
What about
the LIFE Scholarship or Lottery Tuition Assistance programs?
Students wishing
to discuss the LIFE Scholarship, Lottery Tuition Assistance, or any
other means of financial aid are encouraged to contact the
Financial Resources Office at York Technical College.
