Transfer Students

If you haven’t made your final transfer decision and would like to learn more about the Mount, we encourage you to make an appointment to speak with Transfer Coordinator Eric Danielson. During your conversation, you can discuss transferring credits, ask questions with our transfer expert, have your official/unofficial transcript reviewed, and discuss scholarships and financial aid.

Here’s what you need to know:

• You can transfer to the Mount in either the fall (deadline June 1) or spring (deadline December 1) semester.
• Once accepted, you can be considered for both merit-based scholarships and need-based financial aid (with submission of the FAFSA).
• We will help you find what courses transfer from your previous institution.
• We will work with you to ensure that you are on track to graduate on time.
