Transfer Students

Huntingdon welcomes applications from qualified students who wish to transfer from other accredited colleges and universities. Transfer applicants are reviewed and admission decisions are reached as applications become complete.

Basis of Selection

A transfer student is defined as one who has successfully completed at least 24 semester hours of non-remedial courses at an accredited college or university. Applicants who do not meet this definition must meet the same admission criteria as all other freshmen. In order to be eligible for regular admission to Huntingdon as a transfer student, one must have earned a minimum of a 2.25 or higher GPA on all work attempted at the post-secondary level.

A transfer student must be in good academic standing at all previously attended institutions. Transfer applicants under academic or disciplinary suspension or dismissal from a previous institution cannot be admitted to Huntingdon until such sanctions are lifted. Transfer applicants not meeting the requirements listed above will be reviewed by the Faculty Committee on Academic Standing.

Policies and procedures relating to living on campus and options to live off campus can be found in the Student Handbook. It is very important that the completed Housing Forms and the deposit be sent as soon as a decision is made to enroll. Room assignments are made according to the date the form and deposit are received.

All students are required to have health insurance. Prior to registration new students must submit the completed Health Form and a record of immunication to

Immunizations must be up-to-date as outlined on the Health Form. A physical examination is not required.

During the New Student Orientation session(s), each student will meet with an academic advisor to discuss the curriculum and to select classes for the fall or spring semester. While on campus, the student may contact the Office of Student Financial Services to finalize financial arrangements. Arrangements must be finalized prior to the first day of classes.

All new students participate in the New Student Orientation activities. New Student Orientation is held during the summer for the fall semester or in January for the spring semester. Information will be sent from the Office of Admission and Financial Aid after you pay your enrollment fee.
