Transfer Application Process

Getting Started

As an incoming transfer student, you should begin speaking with Karen Jezewski as soon as you start considering transferring to Alma College. She, along with the Registrar, will be able to answer your questions about transferring your credits, help you select courses that will transfer to Alma College, and work with you to ensure you meet the requirements of your selected Alma College program of study.

Applying to Alma

You may apply for admission to Alma if you have attended another college or university and are in good standing. You should have earned a "B" average in coursework at other colleges or universities.

You should arrange for the following to be sent to the Admissions Office:

  • A completed Alma College application (it's free online!)
  • Transcripts from all high schools attended, including ACT/SAT scores*/**
  • Transcripts from all colleges or universities previously attended, and a college catalog if institution is outside Michigan
  • The Transfer Recommendation Form completed by the advisor, registrar or dean of students at the last institution attended

* If your ACT score is below an 18, please contact the Admissions Office to schedule an ACT retake.

**ACT and SAT scores may be waived if you have completed a minimum 24 credit hours of college course work with a GPA of 3.0 or higher.

Please have all documents sent as soon as possible so we can review your application materials for acceptance. Once we have received all of the above items, we will evaluate your application, and you should receive a reply shortly thereafter. As a general note, it is beneficial to apply even before you are finished with all of your current coursework.
