Albany State University (ASU) and Central Georgia Technical College (CGTC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in September to streamline higher education access, transfer, and degree completion support for CGTC students, with an emphasis on student-athlete support.  

“CGTC has a strong tradition of developing transfer opportunities with University System of Georgia partners, and we are thrilled to add Albany State as a premier destination for our students,” said Dr. David VanLandingham, CGTC’s Executive Director for Academic Affairs Operations. “Academic Affairs encourages CGTC students to explore the quality of ASU programs and strongly consider them as a destination to achieve their academic and athletic goals.”  

ASU President Dr. Robert Scott and CGTC President Dr. Ivan H. Allen signed the agreement alongside leaders from both institutions.  

VanLandingham added that the intention of both institutions to support student-athletes and explore ways to partner in athletics is innovative and noteworthy.  

CGTC athletic programs competing in Division 1 of the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) have seen a positive transfer rate to four-year universities to continue their athletic and academic goals. Still, this MOU gives students an option in Georgia with programs aligned to CGTC and helps student-athletes understand academic transfer requirements, degree applicability, admissions processes, and available institutional resources.
