MCLA offers support and encouragement to The College of Saint Rose students, family, and community. “We are saddened by the news of Saint Rose’s closure and offer support and care for their students as they navigate their next steps,” said MCLA President James F. Birge, Ph.D.
For students who may have questions about their educational options, MCLA will host
a Tour & Information Session on Tuesday, December 19 at 11 a.m. Those that can’t attend
this date and time can email admissions@mcla.edu to schedule another time to visit.
“As the official teach out partner for the closure of Southern Vermont College, MCLA
has a successful track record, and is committed to providing Saint Rose students with
a pathway to ensure equitable and optimal transfer of credits to MCLA, stated Birge.”
MCLA will provide an expedited transfer process, providing an admission decision within
48-72 hours of receiving a completed online application and all necessary supporting
documents. MCLA will accept all currently matriculated students who are in good academic
and judicial standing at The College of Saint Rose.
Reduced tuition rates and campus housing will be offered to Saint Rose students. Register for the tour and information session and learn more about our supportive community and the seamless transfer process to
MCLA.
