*Crown College no longer requires prospective students to take the ACT, SAT, or CLT, beginning with the Fall 2021 application.
We will continue to accept standardized tests. The results of the tests will be considered an additional data point in the student’s application for admission. We will maintain our holistic, thorough process that includes a review of the student’s academics, spiritual commitment, and extracurricular involvement.
Our hope is that this change will allow more students access to Crown’s Christ-centered, excellent academic education

Want the details?
You will need to provide a transcript from all colleges or universities you previously attended. You may also send your high school transcript (Optional if you have more than 24 college credits).
Do you want someone to help?
A cumulative 2.0 GPA from the previous college(s).
All academic courses, in which at least a C grade or its equivalent has been earned, may qualify for transfer (up to a maximum of 80-semester credits) if the institution has signed a cooperative agreement with Crown College. (Teacher Education and Nursing Programs require a grade of C+ for some courses.)
The maximum number of credits that may be transferred toward the specific major (or minor) core courses (e.g., the psychology core in the psychology major, etc.) is 50 percent. When a student has earned additional transfer credits in the major core curriculum, the Registrar in consultation with the Department Chair will specify which courses will be applied toward the Crown College major.
Transfer students must meet all departmental and general college requirements for the degree in the program for which they are enrolled.
Official transcripts for students with an intended major are evaluated on a course-by-course basis under the supervision of the Registrar. In most cases, students will receive a written evaluation prior to registration.
