Students wishing to transfer to Oakwood University from another college or university must follow the same application procedure as other new students (see Admission Categories—Regular and Conditional). Most or all the credits earned by a transfer student at a regionally accredited institution will be accepted at Oakwood University if they meet the requirements described in the following paragraph. Oakwood University reserves the right to evaluate and accept or deny credits from non-regionally accredited institutions.
Transfer students must submit an official transcript from each college or university attended. A high school transcript must also be submitted. A maximum of 64 semester hours may be accepted from a community college. Students transferring work from another institution will be given credit only for work completed with grades of C- or above, and only grades of C or higher in a student’s major or minor field. All transfer credits will be evaluated by faculty in the related discipline for transfer equivalency before they are applied to the major, minor, general education, and electives.
The ACT or SAT requirement will be waived if applicants have completed one quarter or semester each of college-level English and mathematics with a grade of C (2.00) or above. Otherwise, the ACT must be taken before the student is allowed to register.
Transfer work is not included in Oakwood’s cumulative grade point average.
