College Transfer Student

BJU considers you a college transfer student if you attended another recognized Christian, public or private college or university anytime after the summer following your high school graduation. You can build upon course work earned from other institutions to earn a degree from BJU.

What is my admissions process?

Your admissions process is identical to the undergraduate admissions timeline.

When is my transfer work evaluated?

Transfer work is evaluated once you have been accepted and confirmed your reservation. The amount of transfer work accepted is then communicated to you.

During your document processing, prior to an acceptance decision, a preliminary evaluation of transfer work is available upon request once all of your college transcripts have been received. A nonrefundable evaluation fee of $50 must be paid. Upon acceptance, the $50 will be applied toward the reservation fee.

How is my transfer work evaluated?

Transfer evaluation is a course-by-course comparison from other institutions to BJU’s curriculum. Though the Admissions Office receives your college transcripts, undergraduate course evaluation is done in the Office of the Registrar.

In general, BJU accepts transfer credit from recognized institutions for any course that is comparable to ones that we offer and in which you have earned a grade of C or better. Credit hours awarded equal that of the institution where the credit was earned (quarter hours are transposed into semester hours). Course titles, grades and credits earned are transferred but grade point averages for transfer credits are not calculated into your cumulative GPA until your degree is conferred. Also, you might be required to provide college catalogs, course descriptions and/or syllabi in order to facilitate completion of your evaluation.
