Transfer Applicants/Transfer Credit

Students who have completed coursework at another regionally accredited college or university may be considered for admission to Maryville College in any academic term. Generally, academic courses in which the student has earned a grade of “C” or above will be transferred and applied toward graduation requirements. College credits earned by students while they were enrolled in high school will be evaluated upon receipt of an official college transcript. Applicants are provided with an official Transfer Credit Evaluation prior to admission upon request. See the Credit by Examination section of this Catalog for information related to transferability of credit earned through external testing programs.

Transfer applications are evaluated under the following guidelines:

  • Applicants with 24 semester hours or more in college-level academic coursework should have earned a minimum grade point average of 2.50. High school transcripts and test scores are not required to determine the admissibility of students who meet these standards, but may be required for financial aid purposes.
  • Applicants who have earned less than 24 semester hours in college-level work should have a minimum grade point average of 2.50 in college-level academic work and present a transcript of high school work and ACT or SAT test scores that meet the standards for first year admission. Applicants who have been out of high school for three years or more are not required to submit test scores.

To apply for admission, transfer students should submit the following:

  • Application for admission.
  • Official transcript from EACH college attended.
  • If applicable, official transcript of high school work and/or scores from either the American College Testing Program (ACT) or the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) of the College Entrance Examination Board, or Classic Learning Test (CLT).
