Thinking of Transferring?

You're one of a growing number of college students for whom the road to a degree does not follow a one-campus, four-year route. It takes a detour. And that's a good thing if that detour turns you toward a brighter future.
At Immaculata University, our specialty is bright futures. Helping students like you reach their goals is what we've been doing for nearly a century. The lives of our graduates are proof that we've been successful.
Transferring to a new college or university should be a great opportunity to reassess your goals, refocus your education, and reinvigorate your life's journey. Trust Immaculata to help you make the most of it.
 

Transferring Credits

Most transfer students receive credit for some or all of their previous college work. In deciding which courses will transfer, we look at each course you've taken and determine how it corresponds to the Immaculata curriculum. Only courses with a grade of C or better will be considered for transfer credit. Up to 64 previous college credits may transfer.

How to Apply as a Transfer Student

Immaculata offers rolling admissions, which means that applications are reviewed once a file is completed. Transfer applicants must arrange to have transcripts of all previous college work sent to Immaculata. Those students with fewer than 24 college credits must have their high school transcripts and test scores (SAT/ACT) sent.
