In the process of transferring, I'm curious if there are colleges out there that don't mandate submission of high school transcripts for transfer students. Have any of you had experience with this?
While most colleges do require high school transcripts from transfer applicants, there are a few exceptions to this rule, however, these instances are more the exception than the norm.
Colleges tend to consider high school transcripts less important for transfer students, particularly if they have been in college for over a year and have an established college GPA. Some schools, particularly for students who have completed more than a certain number of college credits, may not require high school transcripts at all.
Still, it's crucial to check each institution's specific requirements. Every university has unique criteria, and it can vary based on the program of study or the number of credit hours you've completed. You can typically find these requirements on the admissions section of the school’s website or contact the admissions department directly for the most accurate information.
