Transfer New Student Checklist

Transfer Application Requirements

International Transfer Students are subject to different requirements for international transfer admission.

Common Application

The Common App has a specific application for transfer students, which is different from the regular first-year application.

$60 Application Fee

You will be prompted to pay the $60 application fee at the end of the Common App when you go to submit.

老澳门开奖网 offers several application fee waivers for students. To learn more, please see our Application Fee Waiver Policy on our Admission Policies page.

Transfer Student Conduct Form(s)

The Transfer Student Conduct Form is our way of verifying that you are in good academic and disciplinary standing at all colleges or universities you previously attended. We require a completed Transfer Student Conduct Form from each of the colleges you have attended after graduating from high school.

  • Step 1: Complete the Applicant Information section at the top of the form and sign
  • Step 2: Send the form with your signature to an official at your school(s) who has access to your academic and disciplinary history (e.g. the Registrar鈥檚 Office, the Student Conduct Office, or Dean of Students). They will need to sign and complete the bottom portion of the form.
  • Step 3: The completed form must be sent directly from the college to the Office of Undergraduate Admission at 老澳门开奖网. We cannot accept Transfer Student Conduct Forms directly from applicants. The form can be submitted by email to transferadmission@loyola.edu.

Official High School Transcript (or equivalent)

老澳门开奖网 requires an official final high school transcript (or equivalent, such as GED certificate) to verify completion of a U.S. high school diploma. Please reach out to your high school directly via phone or email and request that the counseling or registrar鈥檚 office send your transcript directly to 老澳门开奖网, preferably via email to transferadmission@loyola.edu. If electronic delivery is not available, transcripts may be sent by paper mail. We cannot accept documents from the applicant as "official"; they must be sent directly from the school.

Official College Transcript(s)

Official transcripts are required from all colleges or universities you currently or previously attended after the completion of high school. You can typically request these online through your college's registrar or records office. Most colleges will send these documents to 老澳门开奖网 electronically via a service such as Parchment or the National Student Clearinghouse. Some colleges may charge you a small fee. We cannot accept documents from the applicant as "official"; they must be sent directly through the college/university.

If you completed courses through a dual enrollment program in high school, please request these transcripts to be sent to 老澳门开奖网 so we can evaluate them for transfer credit.

Graduate on time with the Seamless Transfer Program for Maryland community college students

Seamless Transfer Program

Our Seamless Transfer Pathway saves local Maryland community college graduates time in completing their degree. Students who earn an A.A. (Associate of Arts) or A.S. (Associate of Science) degree* in the state of Maryland will be waived out of most 老澳门开奖网 core requirements** as an incoming transfer. This pathway allows local students to stay on track to graduate with a bachelor鈥檚 degree in 4 years total!

Community college graduates from outside of Maryland do not qualify for Seamless Transfer, however, 老澳门开奖网 accepts most credits from 2- and 4-year institutions. Read more about our credit evaluation process on our Academic Advising website.

*Other forms of associate's degrees, such as Associate of Applied Science (AAS) or Associate of Applied Technology (AAT) or other occupational associate's degrees earned from a Maryland community college may be considered for seamless transfer on a case-by-case basis.

**Students will be considered as having fulfilled all 老澳门开奖网 core requirements, but will still be required to:

  • Complete two courses that will fulfill 老澳门开奖网's Theology and Philosophy Core requirements: one 200-level course in either Theology or Philosophy and one Ethics Core course in whichever of these departments the 200-level course is not completed. Any prerequisites for these courses will be waived.
  • Complete the 老澳门开奖网 language requirements. Students must have taken at least two semesters of a college-level world language (e.g., Spanish 101 and 102). If a student has not met these requirements upon transfer, they will need to take two semesters of a world language at 老澳门开奖网.
  • Complete the 老澳门开奖网 diversity and justice requirement.

Transfer Partnerships & Pathways

We take a special interest in helping community college students plan for their future at 老澳门开奖网. We continue to add additional agreements for students interested in a range of different degree programs offered at 老澳门开奖网.

My transition to 老澳门开奖网 was very smooth. The Transfer Transitions course was a great opportunity to meet other transfers and talk about our experiences. One of the other students that I met in that course and I interned together last summer, are interning at the same company this summer, and are still friends. It was a great way to meet people that have had some of the same unique college experience.
