Transfer Student Admissions

Students transferring to Carlow for programs in:

  • Social Work must have a minimum 2.5 GPA
  • Perfusion Technology must have a minimum 2.8 GPA
  • Education or Nursing must have a minimum 3.0 GPA
  • All other programs require a minimum 2.0 GPA

Admission is determined on an individual basis. SAT/ACT scores are not required for transfer students but may be one of the factors considered if the student has minimal college credit.

  • BSN Program - Spaces are limited and highly competitive.
  • RN-to-BSN program applicants may apply anytime for spring or fall admission.
  • For all other programs, Carlow operates on a rolling admissions basis for transfers, typically through August 1 each year for the fall, and December 1 for the spring, or as long as space allows. However, students are encouraged to apply as early as possible.
Carlow University accepts transfer credits from accredited programs and colleges. The University will make every attempt to utilize the academic credits earned by its students and decisions are based on course equivalencies, including expected learning outcomes, with those of University curriculum and standards. A transfer course evaluation will be completed by the Coordinator of Transfer and Articulation on each transferring student to approximate how courses will transfer to Carlow University. Grades must be a "C" or above to be transferred to Carlow. Courses taken for pass/fail or satisfactory/unsatisfactory grades may only be transferred if it can be verified that a pass or satisfactory grade is equivalent to a C or higher.
