A transfer student is defined as an applicant with 13 or more semester hours of college credit earned post-high school graduation or equivalency.

If an applicant has previously attended another regionally accredited institution and plans to apply for admission to a Blue Mountain Christian University 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/university 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

Immunizations. Applicants must have documented evidence of having had the Measles, Mumps and Rubella immunizations (MMR) within the last 10 years or evidence of having had two immunizations if the applicant was born on or after January 1, 1957. These immunizations must have been given after the applicant’s first birthday. (This requirement is waived for students enrolled in online courses only.)
