Admission of transfer students

  1. The official application with non-refundable application fee of $25.

  2. An official transcript from each college or university attended. All official transcripts from other colleges must be received no later than the student's first semester at Virginia Intermont - they will not be accepted after Virginia Intermont semester grades are posted.

  3. A high school transcript, unless the student has successfully completed one year (24 semester hours) of college.

  4. SAT or ACT scores for transfer students are required if the student has graduated from high school or received a GED within two years of the semester to which s/he is applying for admission. SAT or ACT scores are not required from students who have 24 or more transfer credits.

The following regulations apply to transfer applicants:

  1. Transfer credit is accepted on an individual basis after complete evaluation by the Registrar. Credit for academic work completed at another institution with a grade of "C" (2.00) or better may be transferred if the course is appropriate to the curriculum of Virginia Intermont.

  2. A student should have a minimum grade point average of “C” (2.00) for admission. Students with less than a “C” may be considered for admission.

Transferability


The following classes are required to satisfy the core curriculum that is the hallmark of the Virginia Intermont education and that best prepares students to pursue major and minor fields of study.

Consideration of suitable substitutions is given to transfer students who have completed comparable courses. Faculty in individual majors have approved appropriate core substitutions for their majors. These are reflected on individualized "check sheets" produced for every applicant transferring from an accredited school.
