Transfer Admission
Huntingdon College welcomes applications from students who wish to transfer from other regionally accredited colleges and universities. Transfer applications are reviewed and admission decisions are reached after the required information has been received by the Office of Admission.

General Admission Requirements
If you have completed at least 24 semester hours of non-remedial coursework at an accredited college or university, you may apply for admission as a transfer student. If your academic background does not fit this definition, you may apply for admission as an incoming freshman.
Transfer Admission Standards
- Transfer students who have earned 24 or more semester hours with a cumulative 2.00 GPA are accepted by the Office of Admission based on college credit only.
- Transfer students who have earned less than 24 semester hours are evaluated based on the guidelines for freshman admission, including high school transcripts and ACT/SAT scores.
- Transfer students who have completed a semester of hours with a 2.0 GPA or higher who are enrolled “in progress”with the necessary credit hours to meet the 24-hour threshold will be evaluated on college work only. Following completion of the semester in progress, the files will be re-evaluated for accuracy of the admission decision and confirmation of the 24-earned-hour requirement.
- Transfer students’ files representing work earning a college-level GPA lower than 2.0 after completion of the required 24 minimum semester hours of college credit will be evaluated by committee.
In addition to the grade point average requirement, you must be in good academic standing at all institutions previously attended. Transfer applicants under academic or disciplinary suspension or dismissal from a previous institution cannot be admitted to Huntingdon until such sanctions are lifted.
How to Apply
- Submit the Application for Admission
- Submit official transcripts from all colleges attended. If you are enrolled at a college, a second transcript indicating completion of the term and eligibility to return to the institution will be required.
Financial Aid and Scholarships
Transfer Scholarships are determined by a student’s cumulative academic grade point average. For students who have attended more than one post-secondary institution, the academic grade point average will be calculated from all colleges and universities attended.
You may begin the need-based financial aid process after October 1 of the year prior to fall admission.
