William & Mary Co-Enrollment Program
Program Purpose
The TNCC-W&M Co-Enrollment Program allows students to prepare for guaranteed admission to the College of William and Mary while completing an associate degree at TNCC. Co-enrolled students complete up to five (5) three- or four-credit courses at W&M as part of their associate degree progress. Besides a guarantee of admission to W&M (upon successful program completion, described below), co-enrollees enjoy other benefits, including:
- selection of general education courses from W&M’s broad range of course offerings
- payment of TNCC tuition rates for their W&M co-enrollment courses
- an early opportunity to explore and grow comfortable with the W&M campus
- a valuable, early experience with the level of academic challenge offered at W&M
- exposure to the cultural stimulation of W&M’s diverse and active campus

Program Admission
To be eligible for co-enrollment, students must:
- enroll in a transfer Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree program at TNCC, excluding the Associate of Science in General Studies program,
- complete at least 15 credit hours of general education courses toward the TNCC associate degree; course work must be completed at TNCC, subsequent to graduation from high school,
- maintain a minimum GPA of 3.5 in those initial general education courses.
The ideal co-enrollment candidate is a mature, hard-working, self-motivated learner prepared for the challenge of taking college-level courses at two different schools simultaneously. Applicants should carefully consider whether they have the time and ability to travel regularly between the campuses of TNCC and W&M, to take all co-enrollment courses on the W&M campus during daytime hours, and to devote a considerable number of their weekly hours to study.
Eligible students should submit a completed Application for Co-Enrollment (pdf) to the program coordinator as early as possible after completion of the above eligibility requirements.
Program Completion
Program graduates will earn guaranteed admission to W&M as degree candidates if they have:
- remained continuously enrolled at TNCC until receiving the associate degree,
- completed the TNCC degree within the past three years prior to matriculation at W&M,
- earned at least 45 of the credit hours required for the associate degree through the Virginia Community College System since graduation from high school; credit hours earned at W&M during co-enrollment will be included in this total,
- completed successfully at least four courses, each carrying three or four credit hours, at W&M, with a grade point average of not less than 2.7 (on a 4.0 scale) in those courses,
- achieved a cumulative grade point average of not less than 2.7 (on a 4.0 scale) at TNCC,
- submitted a “Co-Enrollment Application for Admission,” along with official transcripts from TNCC and all other institutions attended, to the W&M Office of Undergraduate Admission; application materials are due by February 15 for the fall semester and by November 1 for the spring semester. The application fee will be waived. Acceptance is conditional upon receipt of a final transcript from TNCC and verification that the student has met the conditions outlined above
