Undergraduate
Transfer Information
Students seeking to transfer to Saint Michael’s College must be in good standing academically (preferably 3.0 or better in rigorous liberal arts courses) and otherwise, at the institution they have previously attended.
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. They must earn a minimum of 64 credits, including at least 18 credits in their major, at Saint Michael’s College. As a student approaches graduation, 24 of the final 32 credits must be taken at Saint Michael's College.
If you have applied to Saint Michael's College in the last two years, you may apply by simply submitting an Application Reactivation Form as well as your final high school transcript and official college transcript.
