Which Transcripts to Send
Transcript Information
You will need to provide a transcript from all colleges or universities you previously attended. You may also send your high school transcript. Do you want someone to help?
A cumulative 2.0 GPA from the previous college(s) for undergraduate degrees and a cumulative 3.0 GPA for graduate degrees.
All undergraduate academic courses from accredited colleges with a grade of C or higher may qualify for transfer. (Nursing requires a grade of C+ for some courses.) Accredited graduate courses qualify for transfer with a grade of B or higher.
A maximum of 45 credits may transfer toward an associate degree and a maximum of 95 credits toward a bachelor degree. Only 50% of the courses in a major core or minor may transfer. Graduate transfer limits depend on the degree. The full transfer policy may be found in the Crown College Catalog.
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.
