Transfer Applicants

 

transfer-applicants-0821

Are you ready to take the next step in your college journey? Transfer to Grove City College and make your home in our deep-rooted living and learning environment — where students benefit from nationally ranked career preparation, a renowned liberal arts core, world-class faculty mentors, an iron-sharpens-iron peer community (Proverbs 27:17), and exceptional outcomes across all majors.

As you navigate the process, we are here to help make transferring as smooth as possible. Follow our three-step guide to transferring and see additional tips below. If you have any questions, contact the Transfer Coordinator.

Please note: Grove City College defines a transfer student as someone who enrolled at another institution after graduating from high school.

1-2-3 Transfer!

Step 1: Apply
Start your application through our mobile-friendly online portal. See below for a full list of transfer application requirements and deadlines.

Apply

Step 2: Interview (highly recommended)
Share your story by interviewing on campus or virtually so that we can get to know you better and advocate for your admission! You can also explore other visit options and we’ll help you make the most of your time on campus.

Step 3: Credit Review
Submit your college credits to determine if/how your courses will transfer to Grove City College. See below for more details.

Application Deadlines & Requirements

Transfer applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Deadlines to apply are as follows:

  • Aug. 12 (for the fall semester).
  • Jan. 1 (for the spring semester).

In addition to the online application, you will need to provide the following documents. (If you’d prefer to submit a paper application, email admissions@gcc.edu to request one.) To see which of your documents have been received or are still pending, please log in to your application portal.

  • Final high school transcript.
  • Official college transcript(s).
  • Grove City College Transfer School Report Form.
  • Grove City College Transfer Reference Form (to be completed by your current Dean of Students or someone in a similar role).
  • SAT, ACT, or CLT test score(s) (optional but recommended).
  • Two letters of recommendation as listed below. The College does not provide specific forms for recommendation letters.
    • One academic recommendation letter from a professor, advisor, or dean.
    • One spiritual/character recommendation letter from a pastor, mentor, or someone who knows you well in that regard.

If you have not yet completed one full semester at your current institution, please have your professors fill out the Grove City College Transfer Semester Report Form and submit it once you have submitted the online portion of your application.

All documentation may be sent one of the following ways:

EMAIL
admissions@gcc.edu

Acceptance Deposit

A payment of $250 is required of every applicant to officially accept admission to the College and secure a spot in the student body. This deposit is nonrefundable if the applicant later decides not to enroll at the College during the year for which he or she was accepted.

How to Transfer Your Credits

To receive a preliminary review of your transfer credits, email transfers@gcc.edu with the Unofficial Transfer Course Evaluation Request Form and your college transcript (which may be unofficial initially, although an official transcript is required to be considered for admission). In some cases, you may also be asked to provide a copy of a course syllabus or other supporting documents.

Find out more about transfer credit requests. You may also use the online Transfer Evaluation System to search by institution for courses already reviewed for transfer to Grove City College.

Transfer Credit Requirements
  • Courses from a regionally accredited institution with a “C” grade or higher are accepted. “P-Pass” grades are not accepted and require a grade equivalent of at least a “C.”
  • Transfer credits do not enter into the computation of a student’s quality point average (QPA) at Grove City College.
  • Grove City College requires 128 credits to graduate. Transfer credits may not exceed 50% of the total credits toward graduation. In addition, you may only transfer up to 50% of the credits required for any major, minor, certification, or concentration.
  • For students who have attended institutions without regional accreditation, the Office of the Registrar will review transcripts for credit on an individual basis.

View our Transfer Credit Policies for complete requirements.

Financial Aid & Scholarships

Financial aid may be available for transfer applicants who demonstrate financial need. Find out more about Financial Aid and Scholarships, and be sure to submit the Grove City College CSS Profile (different from the FAFSA) by April 15 (for fall transfer) or within two weeks of submitting your Admission application, whichever is later. The CSS Profile must be received no later than August 15 for fall transfer and January 1 for spring transfer regardless of when the Admission application is submitted. Current students must reapply for financial aid each year.

Although Grove City College reserves most merit-based scholarships for incoming freshmen, we do offer a variety of scholarships for high-performing enrolled upperclassmen, including the Dean’s Scholarship and various Achievement Awards. We also accept outside scholarships from incoming transfers, which can significantly help to reduce the cost of attendance.

If you have any questions, contact the Office of Financial Aid at financialaid@gcc.edu or 724-458-3300.
