Do some colleges not require high school transcripts for transfer?

I'm hoping to transfer colleges and I'd rather not depend on my old high school transcript. Are there schools that don't ask for high school records from transfer applicants?

Yes, there are some colleges that may not require high school transcripts from transfer applicants, particularly if those applicants have a certain number of college credits. In general, once a student has completed a specific number of college credit hours (typically around 60 or more), colleges start to place less emphasis on high school academic records in the admissions process.

However, it's important to note that not all colleges will have this policy, and it can vary depending on the specific institution, as each college and university has its own set of admission requirements. Usually, the more competitive a college is, the more likely they are to require a high school transcript, even from transfer applicants.

Some colleges might waive this requirement with an associate degree, given that the completion of such a degree would imply that you have already fulfilled the general education requirements of your freshman and sophomore years.

Always remember to check with each school’s admissions office or website to ensure that you understand their specific requirements and guidelines. It’s always better to be safe and prepared than to find out you are missing a required element after the deadline.
