Requirements for Entering Transfer Students
A transfer student applicant (traditional programs) is defined as a degree-seeking student who has earned a minimum of 12 semester (18 quarter) hours of transferable credit at a regionally-accredited post-secondary institution. Transfer student applicants need to have earned a minimum 2.0 cumulative transfer grade point average (higher for some majors) based upon all transferable courses to be considered for admission. (Transfer students are not required to submit ACT or SAT scores or high school transcript.) Credits earned through Prior Learning Assessment cannot be used to meet the minimum credit hour requirement for admission.
Official transcripts from all colleges/universities attended must be sent to the Office of Admission. Students must be in good academic, disciplinary, and financial standings at previous colleges/universities attended. An evaluation of transfer credit will be forwarded with the acceptance letter showing courses accepted in transfer and courses/hours that still need to be completed at Lewis.
The Office of Admission will consider applications only after the following steps have been completed:
- An application is submitted.
- Official transcripts are received by the Office of Admission from each college and/or university attended.
- Kaplan Admission Test results are submitted (for nursing majors only).
