Students applying for admission to Union College who have received college credit from other colleges or universities are considered transfer students.
Requirements to Complete the Admission Process:

- An official, sealed high school transcript if the student has completed less than 24 semester hours from a regionally accredited institution
- An official ACT or SAT I score if the student has completed less than 24 semester hours from a regionally accredited institution
Standards for Full Admission:
- You must have at least a 2.0 grade point average (GPA) on a 4.0 scale on all work from previous institutions. You must be eligible to return to the previous institutions you attended, and you must be in good standing.
- Union College will record a summary of transfer credits, indicating the total number of hours accepted and the quality point average at the sending institution. Union accepts only transfer work in courses with a grade of “C” or above.
- Eighty-one semester hours is the maximum number of hours that will be accepted from a two-year institution.
- If you are transferring from a 4-year institution, you must satisfactorily complete 30 of your final 36 hours at Union College before you are eligible for graduation.
- Transfer credits will be accepted at the level of the initiating institution. Therefore, if you're transferring from a two-year institution, you must accumulate 39 semester hours of upper division credits while attending Union College before you are eligible for graduation.
