I'm looking at transferring to Benedict College but am a bit lost on what specific requirements I need to meet. Has anyone been through this process and can share what I should focus on to make sure my application is complete?
Benedict College has a fairly straightforward transfer application process. Below, I've outlined the main components of the application:
1. Completed Application: You can do this through Benedict College's online application platform.
2. Transcripts: You have to submit official transcripts from all the colleges/universities you have previously attended. If you have earned less than 30 college-level credits, you also need to submit your official high school transcripts. If you completed a home education program, you have to provide the home education credential as well.
3. Minimum GPA: Benedict College generally expects a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 from your previous college-level work.
4. Personal Statement: While it's not always mandatory, preparing a personal statement about why you're interested in transferring to Benedict can be beneficial. Benedict College, like many schools, appreciates knowing your motivation behind the transfer and what you aim to achieve with your education at their institution.
5. Affidavit of Support and Financial Statement: This is required for international students to provide proof of financial support for their studies.
6. Housing Application: If you plan to live on-campus, you should also complete the housing application form.
Remember, each student's situation can be a little different, so it's always a good idea to reach out to Benedict College's Admissions Office directly, especially if you have any unique circumstances or additional questions. They can provide the most accurate and up-to-date information about the transfer process. Good luck!
