Transfer Admission

Transfer students are admitted to the College for semesters beginning in January and August. Admissions decisions are issued on a ‘rolling’ basis. It is recommended that applications for fall transfer admission be filed prior to July 15 and that applications for spring transfer admission be filed prior to December 15. Application procedures for transfer candidates are generally the same as outlined above; however, SAT or ACT scores are only required for applicants who have completed less than two semesters of college-level study. Official transcripts from all colleges attended must be submitted. An official secondary school transcript is also required. Advanced placement and course credit will be given to transfer students with acceptable A.P. scores provided that documentation from the College Board is received within one semester of enrollment at Washington College. It is advisable to consult with both the Admissions Office and the Registrar in order to obtain an accurate evaluation concerning transfer of academic credits.

To satisfy requirements for graduation, transfer students must complete a minimum of 56 WC credits or in a Washington College approved off-campus study program, and the final 8 courses must be taken in residence (at WC). Transfer students must also complete the Senior Capstone Experience.
