Transfer Admission Guidelines

To be considered for admission, transfer students must submit a completed Application for Admission form and official transcripts from all accredited colleges and universities attended. If the transcripts show fewer than 12 hours of credit transferable to Calumet College of St. Joseph, an official high school transcript or an official General Education Development (GED) test score must be submitted. Admission will be granted to transfer applicants who have attained a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0, although transfer applicants who plan to study Education must have a minimum GPA of 2.5, and other specific majors may have other minimum requirements. Applicants who do not meet these minimum GPA standards may still be admitted based on a review of the applicant’s file by the Enrollment Management Office. The College reserves the right to require on-campus assessment as a condition of admission for transfer students when appropriate, based on the information submitted in the application process.

Calumet College of St. Joseph will accept no more than 66 semester hours from a junior/community college and no more than 94 semester hours from a four-year college toward a bachelor degree.
