Transfer Student Admission Requirements

To be considered for admission, transfer applicants must present a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0 on a 4.0 scale from all previous postsecondary institutions. Meeting the minimum GPA requirement does not guarantee admission, as the Admissions Committee also pays close attention to a student’s academic trend. Please refer to individual school sections for additional requirements for specific programs. All transfer applicants for the traditional and accelerated B.S.N. program should note additional requirements; applicants to the accelerated second-degree nursing program should review additional requirements.

Applicants who have been enrolled in a college or university prior to applying to Marymount must submit the following:

• a completed application form with the nonrefundable application fee of $50
• official transcripts from all postsecondary institutions (delivered in a sealed envelope that bears the registrar’s signature and/or seal or via an authorized online delivery system)
• official final high school transcript
• one letter of recommendation from a professor, high school teacher, or employer

Transfer credit evaluation letters will be mailed home within a few weeks of receiving a formal letter of acceptance. It is the responsibility of the student applicant to provide the transcripts necessary for this evaluation. In most instances, the university will only accept coursework in transfer from a regionally accredited institution. Other transcripts with national accreditation (including Military Joint Services Transcript) may be considered for transfer credit on a case-by-case basis. See Transfer Policies for more information. Transfer students may also receive credit for Advanced Placement coursework or similar programs as well as for work experience. See Other Credit-Acquisition Opportunities for further information.
