Transfer students are a vital part of the Virginia private college community, and contribute substantially to academic and extracurricular life. Virginia’s private colleges welcome qualified applicants.
Qualified students who wish to transfer from accredited two-year and four-year institutions should have complete transcripts forwarded from all colleges previously attended, as well as a secondary school transcript. Certification of good standing at the previous institution should also be provided.
Policies related to transfer admission, acceptance of credit, advanced standing, financial aid, and housing vary from college to college.
Contact the Admissions Office of the colleges that interest you to learn more. The state also provides a very helpful resource to prospective transfer students called Transfer VA.
