Transfer Students

For policies and procedures for transferring credits to Elizabethtown, check the Transfer Credit Information menu on the Registration and Records website. Here you will find information on AP, CLEP and international credits, residency requirements, core structure, and transfer student FAQ's.

Also check the Admissions website under Transfer Students for detailed information on the admissions process, to download an admissions form, or to apply online.

The Academic Advising Office can come into play at any time during or after the application process. We can talk to you about available majors and programs and refer you to departmental faculty members. After you have matriculated, we will help you create a schedule.

Transfer students challenge all colleges, because of their varying backgrounds, experiences, and expectations. Please help us help you make your decision to come here a positive one, by paying attention to the following:

1. The Admissions Office states that transfer applications generally are not processed after December 1 for spring or June 1 for fall admission. This policy addresses the fact that many faculty and some staff are absent for winter break and summer vacation. Be sensitive to these dates so that your expectations for scheduling do not make transferring a frustrating experience.
   
   
2. If you know your major, meet with faculty representatives from the major early in the admissions process. You should be able to plot the remaining semesters to graduation with confidence that you can meet your goals. While all transfer students ought to meet with a departmental representative, honors program students and occupational therapy, allied health, international business, and music majors are required to meet with the appropriate college department during the admissions process.
   
   
3. If you are still deciding on a major, Academic Advising is a good place to begin. We will help you develop a plan consistent with your needs and, where applicable, put you in touch with other offices and resources here in the Center for Student Success.
   
   
4. There often are some special challenges starting up new in a setting where the majority of your classmates are already established and acclimated. Be sure to take advantage of the resources and opportunities for involvement to which you are entitled. We hope you will make good use of this office and your transfer peer mentors while you are transitioning to your new college home!
