Transfer Credit Requests
Grove City College respects and understands that many students will take college courses prior to matriculation to an undergraduate college. Submit transfer credit requests.
 
Selecting a Major
Grove City College recommends that all applicants declare a major. As this is one of the many methods the College uses to shape the freshman class and there are limited openings for each major offered, each applicant is considered for only one major. Students should note that switching majors during their time at the College is common.
 
Undeclared Applicants
Students who are undecided about their major may select either "Undeclared - Liberal Arts" or "Undeclared - Science and Engineering" and must choose a major by the end of their sophomore year. After enrolling at the College, a student may change their originally declared major pending department approval.
 
Acceptance Deposit
A payment of $250 is required of all applicants at the time they accept admission to the College. This deposit is nonrefundable if the applicant later decides not to enroll at the College during the year for which they were accepted.
