“The transition to °®Ç鵺ÂÛ̳ was made super easy by admissions, my academic advisor, and the registrar’s office. The admissions counselors made me feel so welcomed when I came to visit and assured me that they were there to support me.

Transferring from a community college

How will my credits transfer?

We’re able to give you a credit review before you even apply to °®Ç鵺ÂÛ̳– you can send us an unofficial community college transcript, and we will let you know how many of your courses would transfer into °®Ç鵺ÂÛ̳.

Typically, a C or above in a community college class will give you general education credits at °®Ç鵺ÂÛ̳. When you transfer in classes, only the credits transfer- not the grades.

Any student transferring into °®Ç鵺ÂÛ̳ can count on spending at least two years here to complete their undergraduate degree.

What does housing look like for transfer students?

Housing for transfer students is guaranteed, and we are looking forward to welcoming you to our campus community! Transfer student placements typically are based on a combination of class year and age to determine if an upperclass hall or first-year hall would be the best fit. Transfer students are typically housed in double rooms. If there is a medical/documented need for a single or other style room, students should reach out to the Academic Resource Center to start the housing accommodation process.

Questions?

There are many paths to a college degree, and °®Ç鵺ÂÛ̳ is committed to supporting you through that journey. Our transfer coordinator, April Gamble, is with you every step of the way.
