Transfer Admission Procedures

We welcome applications from students who wish to enter Emory after completing work at another college. Applicants must be withdrawn voluntarily from the college last attended and must be eligible to return to that institution. A student must be able to matriculate at least at sophomore status. Once a student has at least one full year of college credit, he or she may apply for transfer admission to Emory in any of the three semesters.fall, spring, or summer. In order to graduate from Emory College, a transfer student is required to complete the last four semesters (sixty-four semester hours) of course work at Emory; this is usually equivalent to two years of work. Transfer students may transfer up to sixty-four semester hours of college credit to Emory College.

Transfer candidates should submit the following in order to complete their applications:

Application Processing Fee
An application processing fee of $40 must be paid on-line with Visa or Mastercard. DO NOT send a check or money order separately.

Faculty Recommendation
Applicants are responsible for providing Emory with a recommendation from a faculty member at the student's present institution. A recommendation form is including in the application menu. Candidates who have been employed for an extended period while not attending college may wish to have their employer, rather than a faculty member, provide the recommendation.

Secondary School Transcript
Transfer candidates who have completed less than two full years of college work must submit a transcript of their high school record as well as a transcript of all college work.

College Transcripts
Candidates should request registrars of all colleges attended to forward transcripts of their college records to the Office of Admission. Candidates are encouraged to have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale in all college work attempted.

In order to matriculate at Emory College, all transfer students must submit complete and final transcripts from all colleges attended, including final grades for any work in progress at the time of application.

Catalog from Current or Previous Colleges
In order to ensure proper evaluation of all college-level academic work, the Office of Admission requests a catalog from the applicant's previous and/or current college. In the event that these catalogs are not on file, the Office of Admission will notify the applicant. The applicant is then responsible for sending the requested catalog or course descriptions.

Credit Evaluation
Listed below are the criteria used to determine the amount of credit earned at a previous institution that may be transferred to Emory. This information should aid you in determining which credits will satisfy part of Emory's graduation requirements, distribution requirements, and departmental major requirements printed in the Emory College catalog.

Credit is awarded at Emory in semester hours: one semester hour at another institution is equal to one semester hour at Emory; one quarter hour at another institution is equal to two-thirds of a semester hour at Emory. Credit is awarded on the basis of semester hours earned, not on the basis of the number of courses completed.

In general, Emory will award credit for transferred coursework if the courses meet the following three criteria: 1) the course taken corresponds to a course offered at Emory College, 2) the course was taken at an accredited college or university, and 3) the course grade was a C or better. Credit for physical education courses does not transfer, but the physical education requirements at Emory are waived on the basis of residence at another institution.

Credit earned through a proficiency examination at your previous institution will not be accepted.

Credit earned through an advanced placement (AP) examination score of 4 or 5 will typically transfer. Credit earned through an International Baccalaureate (IB) higher level examination score of 5, 6, or 7 will typically transfer. Official score reports of the AP or IB are required. For credit to transfer, AP or IB exam subjects must correspond to coursework offered in Emory College.

Academic departments reserve the right to limit the amount of transfer credit that may be applied to their major programs. Transfer applicants are therefore advised to consult with the department in which they plan to major.

Regardless of the number of credit hours you are awarded, you must spend at least four semesters in residence at Emory to earn a baccalaureate degree. Terms spent as a visiting student may not be applied toward the four semester residency requirement.

If you are accepted for admission, the Office of Admission will send you a tentative evaluation of your transfer credit. A final evaluation will be sent once a final transcript is received from your previous college. Materials for credit evaluations must be submitted no later than the last day of classes during your first semester of Emory College. Credit will not be given for materials submitted after this deadline.
