Passport College Transfer Courses
The Passport is a college program in which all courses are transferable and satisfy lower-division general education requirements at any Virginia public institution of higher education and many private institutions. The Passport consists of course blocks assigned specific courses. To satisfy the Passport students are required to complete the appropriate number of courses in each course block. Student course selection should be carefully considered since the Passport is not designed to capture the complexities of individual programs of study at the four-year institutions. Students should be advised to take the Passport that best suits their intended program of study at the four-year institution. Only classes completed after May 2020 apply toward Passport completion. The Passport course roster can be found here.
Uniform Certificate of General Studies
The Uniform Certificate of General Studies (UCGS) is a one-year college program in which all courses are transferable and satisfy lower-division general education requirements at any Virginia public institution of higher education and many private institutions. The Passport is a component of the UCGS and is therefore a subset of courses in the UCGS. The UCGS consists of seven course blocks. To satisfy the UCGS students are required to complete the appropriate number of courses in each block. Student course selection should be carefully considered since the UCGS program is not designed to capture the complexities of individual programs of study at the four-
year institutions. Students should be advised to take the UCGS course that best suits their intended program of study at the four-year institution. The UCGS course roster can be found here.

If transferring credits do not satisfy the First Writing Requirement, UVA agrees to accept and apply credits toward student graduation requirements, but students will be required to take an institutional writing course.
