Transfer Admissions at a Glance

     

A simple, transparent process designed to get you admitted and evaluated quickly.

   
1

Apply Online

For most programs, a 2.0 cumulative college GPA is required for admission. No essay is required, making it a fast and easy to get started.

2

Send Transcripts

Transfer students must have all official college transcripts sent to the Admissions office as part of the application process. If you have earned over 12 college credits, your high school transcript is not required.

3

Credit Evaluation

After you are accepted, our transfer counselors will carefully review your coursework to see how it fits within your chosen PennWest program. You’ll receive an official transfer credit evaluation outlining what’s accepted and how it applies toward your degree.

4

Submit Your Deposit

Once you submit your advanced tuition deposit, your credits will be added to your PennWest record. An Academic Coordinator will then build your first-semester schedule based on the credits you’ve earned.
