Transfer Applicants

Application Requirements

Transfer applications are reviewed on a monthly basis from November through July. A completed transfer application must include the following:

• completed application form
• $40 application fee
• official transcripts of all post-secondary course work mailed directly from each institution attended
• official final high school transcript mailed directly from the high school and SAT or ACT scores (required for transfer applicants who have attempted less than 30 semester [45 quarter] hours of course work at previous institutions – see notes below)

Transfer applicants who have attempted 12 semester (18 quarter) or fewer hours (excluding courses designated as remedial or development) will be evaluated on their performance in college, high school GPA, and SAT or ACT scores. Emphasis will be placed on grades earned in college courses. 

Transfer applicants must have official transcripts of all college coursework (part- or full-time, attempted or completed) from every institution attended (whether or not credit was earned or desired) sent directly from the registrar of each institution to the Winthrop University Office of Admissions.

Notes:

1. All transfer applicants must be eligible to return to the last institution attended.

2. Coursework posted on the transcripts from the institutions other than the original college where work was actually completed is not acceptable. The application will be considered incomplete until a separate transcript from each institution has been received by the Office of Admissions.

3. Standardized test scores are not required for applicants who have been out of high school for five years or longer.

4. Course work completed at an institution that does not hold accreditation from the commissions on colleges of a regional accreditation agency cannot be evaluated for transfer credit to Winthrop University.

Please contact the appropriate student services office

If you are transferring from a technical college in South Carolina, many courses have been pre-approved for transfer credit. View the current list.
