Passport

Passport
Eastern Shore Community College

Passport courses satisfy some general education requirements at all public colleges and universities in Virginia. Students planning to transfer to a public four-year college or university in Virginia should select courses from this list, in addition to consulting with their academic advisor. The Virginia Passport Transfer Courses are not an academic program that results in a college credential, but are instead a collection of courses that transfer as general education courses.

Outcomes

Select one course from Blocks I, III, IV, and V. One additional course must be selected from either Block II or VI. A grade of C or better is required on all coursework for students to earn a Passport. All courses must be taken after May 1, 2020.

Considerations for Selecting Degree The Passport provides a guarantee that these 16 credits will apply to 16 credits of general education requirements at most Virginia colleges. See the Resource Center for a list of participating institutions.
Considerations When Selecting Courses

Students must select a course for each block from the official Passport course list. Students should pick courses that align with their transfer program.

  • Create a schedule for all required courses, pay attention to prerequisites and when courses are offered, complete your first math and English courses in your first year
  • Connect with an advisor at your community college and Eastern Shore Community College within your first year
Program Requirements Beyond Specific Courses All courses must be completed with a grade of C or better.
Doing More With Your Degree You are encouraged to continue on to the UCGS or Associate Degree. The more credits you earn prior to transfer, the better your chances of completing a Bachelor's Degree.
Program Successes & Highlights This guarantee applies to all Virginia students completing course work through a 2-year college, including Dual-Enrollment.
