Application Deadlines for Transfer

Transfer Application Requirements

  Academic rigor is important. Applicants need to take at least college preparatory classes. If an applicant has a lower GPA but took honors classes, then the applicant is considered a stronger candidate because of the honors challenge.

• SAT Scores:
  Applicants are required to take SAT or ACT, including transfer students with fewer than 15 college credit hours.
• Letters of Recommendation:
  Have a college advisor or professor write a letter of recommendation. If that's not available we'll accept a work supervisor or religious leader.
• Essay:
  The submission of an essay is required with your application.
• Application Fee:
  There is no application fee.
