The March 15th transfer application deadline for the fall semester has been extended. Please apply as soon as possible to be considered.
If you're interested in transferring to Saint Michael's College, to be accepted you must be in good academic and administrative standing at your former or present institution, preferably with a 3.0 or better in rigorous liberal arts courses.
Credit may be transferred for work completed at accredited colleges with a grade of C- or better, provided that the courses correspond to offerings at Saint Michael's. Credits are considered for transfer only if an official transcript of such credits is submitted by the applicant prior to admission. A transfer student may be required to pass an examination to determine his/her readiness to enter a course or program. No advanced standing is officially recorded by the registrar until the transferred student has successfully completed one full year at Saint Michael's College. The remaining requirements to be fulfilled by transfer students to qualify for graduation from Saint Michael's will be determined on an individual basis.
All students who transfer must be in residence at least two years preceding their graduation. Of the total credits required for a Saint Michael's College degree, a minimum of 64 credits must be earned at Saint Michael's College, including at least 18 credits in their major. A maximum of four courses may transfer to count toward a student's major. As a student approaches graduation, 24 of the final 32 credits must be taken at Saint Michael's College.
Reapplicants: If you have applied to Saint Michael's College in the last two years, you may reapply by submitting an Application Reactivation Form as well as your final high school transcript and official college transcript.
