Transfer Student Admissions

Transfer students are individuals who have earned a high school diploma or an equivalent credential and have subsequently attended a college or university in a full-time or part-time status during a regular semester.

To apply for admission to Anderson University as a transfer student, applicants should:

  1. Complete an application for admission and mail it with the application fee to Anderson University Admissions. Transfer applications for the fall semester should be received by July 1 and by December 1 for the spring semester.

  2. Have official transcripts sent directly to the Office of Admissions from the registrar of each college attended. You must submit official transcripts even if you do not expect to receive credit for the work or if you withdrew prior to receiving final grades. If you have been previously accepted, you also must arrange for Anderson University to receive updated transcripts for any additional work you complete.

  3. The applicant will be notified when the evaluation is complete and the applicant will be notified to make an appointment with the College Dean of their chosen major.

  4. Students who are academically suspended from another college will not be considered for admission to Anderson University during the period of their suspension.

Transfer Admission Requirements

To be considered for admission, candidates should have:

  1. Completed a year of college study (24 semester hours of transferable work). If the student has less than 24 hours, high school transcript and SAT/ACT scores must be sent from the high school from which the applicant graduated.

  2. Earned a cumulative grade-point average of approximately 2.0 on a 4.0 scale.

Transferring Credits To Anderson University

  1. Credit is given for transferable courses successfully completed at a regionally accredited college or university.

  2. A grade of "C" or higher will count towards your transfer work. Credits earned at non-accredited institutions, non-college parallel programs at technical colleges, and non-traditional programs are evaluated for transfer on a case-by-case basis. Anderson College does not transfer grades, only credits.

  3. In the Teacher Education Department, Anderson University is obliged by accreditation standards to accept only courses considered equivalents of the courses in the College's approved Teacher Education Program. The Dean of the College of Education must approve all transfer courses for education majors.

Courses, GPAs, Withdrawals, Repeated Courses

All courses taken and the overall grade-point average ratio from each institution attended are considered in the admissions evaluation. Additional consideration is given to the pattern of progress and the number of completed courses that transfer into the intended major.
