Requirements for Admission for Degree-Seeking Transfer Students
(Policy 2.03)
A transfer student is defined as an applicant with 13 or more semester hours of college credit. If an applicant has previously attended another regionally accredited institution and plans to apply for admission to a Blue Mountain College degree program, the applicant must submit the items listed below to the Office of Admissions.
Application. A completed application for admission.
Official Transcript(s). Complete, official transcripts from each college previously attended must be submitted. Applicants with less than twelve semester hours of credit must also submit an official high school transcript or official GED score report. The high school transcript should include the following:
All classes taken with grades received
Rank in class (actual or estimate)
All available standardized testing information
Explanation of grading system
Graduation date, final GPA, and signature of the appropriate school official
Immunizations. Applicants must have documented evidence of having had the measles, mumps and rubella immunizations (MMR) within the last ten years or evidence of having had two immunizations if born on or after January 1, 1957. These must have been given after the applicant’s first birthday. This requirement is waived for students enrolled in online courses only.
College Housing Requirements. Applicants for College housing must submit a completed room application accompanied by a room deposit. The deposit serves as a damage deposit and is refundable, less any charges for damages upon the student’s written request within two weeks of having vacated College housing.

Credit from Junior/Community College. A maximum of 70 semester hours of credit may be transferred from a community or junior college to Blue Mountain College. [Cross reference with Policy 2.06 Transfer Credit.]
Grades Transferred from Another Institution. Grades earned on transfer work from other regionally accredited institutions will be shown on the permanent record at Blue Mountain College and will be used in calculating the cumulative grade point average.
