Application for Transfer Admission

Students may enter Wagner College by transfer from other accredited colleges and universities. To be eligible for transfer into Wagner, students must meet the general admission requirements and be in good academic standing at their previous institution, as attested by an official transcript from that college or university. The evaluation of the transcript and determination of the acceptable units are made by the Registrar only after the student is admitted. These credits will count toward units for graduation, but the grades earned will not be used in computing the student’s cumulative and major grade point averages. In order for courses and credits to be transferred onto the Wagner College transcript, the courses must:

• not appear on the high school transcript;
• be taught on the college campus by a member of the regular college faculty;
• be open to enrollment by, and graded in direct competition with regularly matriculated undergraduates in the college;
• be part of the normal undergraduate curriculum published in the college’s catalog;
• be recorded on an official transcript of the credit-granting institution.

More than the minimum of 36 graduation units may have to be completed in order to meet major and/or general education requirements at Wagner College. Up to 18 units may be awarded to a student who has earned an acceptable Associate’s Degree from an accredited two-year college. Junior standing requires a minimum of 17 units. Up to 27 units may be awarded to a student who has attended an accredited four-year institution. Only units in which a grade of C (2.0) or higher was earned will be transferred. The last 9 units of any degree must be earned at Wagner College. Units earned through proficiency examinations or life experience cannot be counted as part of the required 9 units. For credit granted by proficiency examination or life experience, a charge per unit awarded will be charged.
