DIRECT TRANSFER PARTNERS

During the summer, we will meet with each Direct Transfer partner to:

• • Go over any Verto and partner updates

  • Review the prior cycle

  • Discuss referral audience execution, strategy, and timeline for the upcoming academic year

  • Review the Partner Prompts included in the Verto Direct Transfer Application

  • Review and update your Partner Page

Prospective Student Engagement

• Consider the ways in which you engaged your referred audience and the leads generated by Verto. Do you have the capability to email or text to help increase exposure to the Pathway?

• Consider the outreach that students receive after submitting their Verto Partner Application for review, including the turnaround time to receive an admissions decision.

Audience Expansion

Is there another audience we can explore together? Here are some suggestions for what type of student you can engage with via the Direct Transfer Pathway.

1. Students who need some personal growth before arriving on campus

2. Waitlisted students

3. Denied students*

4. Unengaged Fall Admits

5. Incompletes

*for reasons other than behavior and finances

Marketing Resources

• Was Verto in the initial admission decision? Can the Verto pathway be integrated into your overall communication plan following the initial Verto referral?

• Is our partnership on your university website? Take a look at our Marketing Resources page for more ideas and templates. 

Course Articulations

• Were your course articulations complete in time to be published on your Partner Page and utilized for course registration?

Academic Eligibility

Participants must have a final high school transcript demonstrating completion of high school (non-degree requirement) and a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher. Students with a final high school GPA between 1.75–1.99 can also apply to Verto for holistic consideration. Students in this range may still be eligible to earn admission to select Direct Transfer institutions.

International Students

All undergraduate applicants must demonstrate that they meet English language requirements BEFORE they can enroll at the University of New Haven through Verto Education.

What determines if a student is a Non-Native English Speaker?

 A potential student must satisfy one or more of the following conditions:

• They are a citizen of a country where English is not the official language (though they may not be born / living there)

• They have submitted transcripts and/or graduated from a high school where English is not the official language of instruction.

How does a Non-Native English Speaker qualify for admission?

Students applying to attend Verto Education who are Non-Native English Speakers will have to demonstrate English language proficiency to qualify for enrollment in a degree program. Qualifying tests and scores are as follows:

Test Minimum Required Score

• IELTS International English Language Testing System 6.0

• TOEFL Test of English as a Foreign Language       70

• DET Duolingo English Test       100

Age Eligibility

Verto welcomes participants ages 17 to 22 years old who meet eligibility requirements. Most participants are between 18 and 20 years old. Minimum age requirements vary by abroad location, with some locations only available to participants who are 18+ due to in-country laws. The “Details about” section on each location page for that location’s specific age requirements.

Passport/Visa Requirements

Participants must have a valid passport in order to participate with Verto. All passports should be valid for at least 6 months beyond the end of the experience.

Those who are not a U.S. passport holder may have different visa requirements for entry into the host country. It is the responsibility of the student to research the immigration requirements of the host country and secure the appropriate visa.

Application Deadlines

The Verto fall semester deadlines (subject to change) are as follows:

• Prague - May 15

• Florence & Seville - June 1

• London - June 22

• Buenos Aires - July 1

• Each summer we will connect with our Direct Transfer partners to go over their Partner Page, eligibility requirements, partner prompts, and audience strategy for the coming cycle. If you have any edit requests outside of our summer sessions, connect with your Direct Transfer Account Manager.

  • • Partner prompts will be updated July 1 - August 15. Change requests may be made and recorded outside of this window, but will not be implemented until then. 

• We encourage you to outreach students that appear in the lead reports we provide or that submit Verto Direct Transfer Applications to your institution. Here are templates you can reference to cultivate your leads.

• Verto is working to build out additional live events for partners to participate in; keep an eye on our Partner Events page!
