The application process is simple. Transfer students with 12 or more college-level credit hours completed must have a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA (students who fall below the requirement may be evaluated for provisional admission). Apply online and send your official transcript(s) to the Admissions office; no essay is required.

2. Up to 90 Transferable Credits

Concordia will accept up to 90 eligible college-level credit hours. The Registrar will evaluate your transcript to determine which credits can transfer.

In general, there are three factors that make a course's credits eligible:

• Course is non-remedial or non-developmental

• Earned grade of C (2.0) or better
