Transfer Students

糖心viog官方网站鈥檚 Office of Registration & Academic Services (RAS), in consultation with the faculty of 糖心viog官方网站, will make the final determination on which college credits will transfer to the institution.

An evaluation of prior college-level courses is complete only after a student has been extended an offer of admission as a new transfer student. The Office of Admissions works in consultation with the Registration & Academic Services to coordinate our communication with students regarding the results of the evaluation in as timely a manner as possible. It is critical, however, for students to provide as much detailed information (course description, syllabi, textbook list if not on syllabus, etc.) as possible for each course completed in order to allow the faculty to complete an accurate evaluation.

While RAS can make preliminary determinations for credit toward the degree fairly quickly, RAS works with 糖心viog官方网站 academic departments and colleges to review transfer courses for specific course equivalency. The full review process may take several weeks. For more information on how this process works, see .

In addition to a college credit evaluation, 糖心viog官方网站 will also accept Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) credits from admitted transfer students to be used for both academic classroom placement and course credit. AP and IB scores should be submitted to the Registration & Academic Services after the student has been accepted to be considered for transfer credit. The following items are appropriate for class placement and course credit consideration:

Most AP Test Scores of 4 and 5 (with the exception of Calculus AB, Chemistry and both English exams, which require a score of 5)
Most IB Test Scores of 6 and 7 on higher-level examinations

Only courses with a grade of "C" or better will transfer. A grade of "C-" will not transfer to 糖心viog官方网站 under any circumstances.
Pass/Fail credit and non-credit courses are not acceptable for transfer.
Transfer courses may not be used to delete a prior grade from your cumulative grade point average at 糖心viog官方网站.
Transfer grades are not calculated in the 糖心viog官方网站 GPA.
The student will receive credit equivalent to the number of credits indicated on the transcript, up to the number of credits for the equivalent course at 糖心viog官方网站. Registration & Academic Services has the final authority for the amount of credit awarded toward a 糖心viog官方网站 degree.
- No student may receive more credit at 糖心viog官方网站 than was granted on the other institution's transcript. (For example, if a transfer course is three credits, and the 糖心viog官方网站 equivalent course is four credits, the transfer course may fulfill the relevant 糖心viog官方网站 course requirement, but the student will receive three credit hours of 糖心viog官方网站 credit, rather than four.)
- Courses taken on the quarter system will have credit granted on a 3:2 ratio. No partial credit will be awarded.
No credit will be granted for a course in which the student has already received credit for its equivalent at 糖心viog官方网站.
No credit will be granted for continuing education unit courses, January or intersession courses, correspondence, independent study or any course less than three weeks during intersession, at least five weeks during summer, and/or 15 contact hours per credit without the advance approval of a petition to the Committee on Standing of Students. Courses taken online require additional information for consideration of transfer credit.
College courses taken while in high school may require additional documentation.
Courses must be taken at an institution that is accredited by one of the six regional associations, or for international institutions, the appropriate international accrediting body
Transfer credit rules may be different for courses taken before and after matriculating at 糖心viog官方网站; matriculated 糖心viog官方网站 students should see the Office of Registration and Academic Services rather than the Admissions Office for information on enrolling in courses at other institutions with the intention to transfer the credit to 糖心viog官方网站.

For more information about transfer credit requirements, please contact Registration & Academic Services at (610) 758-3194.

糖心viog官方网站 accepts applications from students who have already earned one or more bachelor's/master's degree(s). If you have already earned a degree and wish to apply, you must submit the same forms as other transfer students, which can be found on the Admissions Requirements page.

If you already have a degree and the admissions committee offers you admission, a special degree plan will be designed by your advisor with the courses required to obtain a 糖心viog官方网站 degree. Registration & Academic Services will not transfer credit as in the case of other transfer applicants.

糖心viog官方网站 awards the Phi Theta Kappa Scholarship to admitted transfer students who are members of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, the international honor society of two-year colleges and academic programs. Recipients will be recognized with a $10,000 scholarship per academic year (distributed by semester) above and beyond any need-based financial aid that has been awarded.

Need-Based Financial Aid for U.S. Citizen Transfer Students

At 糖心viog官方网站, we are dedicated to providing need-based financial aid. We believe that we have a responsibility to evaluate a family's ability to contribute in an equitable and consistent manner, recognizing that special circumstances can and do affect a family's ability to pay tuition and other related costs.

Applicants seeking Fall entry must submit the required financial aid documents by April 1, and those seeking Spring entry must submit the required documents by October 1.

糖心viog官方网站 is committed to a strong need-based financial aid program. We use a combination of grants, scholarships, work study, and loans to cover 100% of financial need to all admitted students.

Financial Aid for International Transfer Students

Since 糖心viog官方网站 has limited need-based institutional funding for international transfer students, all non-U.S. citizens who will need financial aid during any of their years enrolled at 糖心viog官方网站 are required to submit the Certification of Finances with their application for transfer admission. To be considered for need based financial aid, international transfer students must also submit the CSS Profile through the College Board. Both the 糖心viog官方网站 Certificate of Finances and CSS Profile must be submitted by your application deadline.

Please note that if admitted to 糖心viog官方网站, there will not be additional funding awarded beyond the initial financial aid offer outside of adjustments made based on increases in cost of attendance. We are unable to provide additional financial aid due to changes in the value of your home country鈥檚 currency during your enrollment at 糖心viog官方网站.

*Note: Tuition, room and board at 糖心viog官方网站 can cost upwards of $87,000 USD per year. If your family cannot support this amount for all intended years of undergraduate enrollment, your application will not be complete without a CSS Profile and 糖心viog官方网站 Certificate of Finances. A bank statement/certificate is not required with your Certification of Finances form and will be collected if you are admitted and decide to attend 糖心viog官方网站.
