Transfer Students
To transfer to Franciscan University without submission of SAT or ACT scores, you will need:
If you have not successfully completed 24 college-level credits, your high school GPA and SAT or ACT scores will be considered along with your college GPA. Midterm grade reports may also be required.
Students who have attended other colleges and universities must submit those credentials that are required of all applicants. Admission and subsequent registration may be canceled if information is found to be false or intentionally omitted.
Full credit will be given for most college level courses transferred from an institution accredited by one of the regional accreditation associations, provided the grade for each course is C (2.00) or better. No college credit will be given for home-school or correspondence course work. Canadian students please note: Ontario Academic Credits (OAC) are NOT accepted for credit.
A final Advanced Standing Evaluation will be done after all official transcripts have been received. This evaluation is subject to the approval of the student’s academic advisor. Students who register for courses without an Advanced Standing Evaluation assume total responsibility for any registration errors. In no case may a student earn credit for a course, or equivalent, for which prior credit was earned.
Transfer students must earn their final, consecutive 30 semester credit hours at Franciscan University of Steubenville. A minimum of 12 semester credit hours in upper-level courses in an academic major must be earned at Franciscan University of Steubenville. To qualify for an academic minor, transfer students must earn at least 6 semester credit hours in upper-level classes at Franciscan University of Steubenville. Requirements for academic majors and minors are listed in the Academic Programs section.
