Transfer Students
A student seeking admission to Graceland after enrollment at another college must submit to Admissions an application form, a high school transcript if college work totals less than 36 hours, transcripts from all colleges previously attended, and a nonrefundable application fee of $50. (The $50.00 application fee is waived when the application is submitted online.) An institutional deposit of $200 is required prior to receiving a room assignment or registering for classes. The transcripts must be mailed in a sealed envelope with the official school seal affixed. Withholding information concerning previous schools attended could result in termination of enrollment.
Acceptance is based on college work rather than high school if a student has attended college full time for at least one semester and/or has accumulated 12 semester hours of credit. A 2.00 cumulative grade point average on all transfer credit is required for admission to Graceland University.
Applicants who do not meet the required 2.00 cumulative GPA will be considered individually and if accepted will enter Graceland on academic probation.
Transfer students, including community and junior college transfers, who have earned 56 transferable semester hours with a grade point average of 2.00 based on a 4.00 point system, if accepted, will enter Graceland at junior standing. A maximum of 72 semester hours is acceptable for transfer from two-year schools.
Students transferring from foreign colleges and universities from which credit is accepted will receive only a “P” for passing grades. However, regular letter grades will be recorded for students who transfer from: (1) a foreign college or university that is accredited by a United States regional accrediting association, and (2) Canadian colleges and universities.
Credit or waiver through College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and Advanced Placement (AP) will be determined by Graceland upon receipt of the scores from the College Board and will not necessarily correspond with what the previous school may have awarded.
