What's the transfer process to Baldwin Wallace University like?

I'm looking to transfer to Baldwin Wallace University but unsure about the specific requirements or process. Can anyone share insights about transferring credits or general advice?

Sure, I'd be happy to explain the process of transferring to Baldwin Wallace University. You'll follow several main steps:

1. Submit Baldwin Wallace University's online application: As a transfer student, it's free to apply online.

2. College transcripts: You will need to provide official transcripts from all colleges and universities you've previously attended. Baldwin Wallace criteria state that minimum cumulative GPA from all colleges attended must be 2.0.

Regarding your credits, BW typically accepts credits earned at regionally accredited institutions where a grade of C- or higher has been earned. You might benefit from their generous policy as they don't cap the number of credits that you can transfer. However, in order to graduate, at least 45 of the last 64 semester hours must be completed at Baldwin Wallace University.

As a rule of thumb, you should reach out to Baldwin Wallace's Admission Office directly to facilitate a preliminary unofficial evaluation of your credits.

3. High school transcripts: If you've earned less than 24 college credit hours at another institution post-high school graduation, you'll also need to submit your high school transcript or equivalent.

4. Recommendation letter: A recommendation letter from either a college counselor/advisor, professor, or employer is also required as part of your application.

5. Focus on your academic explanation: If you had any academic difficulties at your previous institution, it would be beneficial to provide an explanation and share how you plan on improving at Baldwin Wallace.

Once you've submitted your application and required documents, you'll meet with their transfer admission counselor to discuss your previous academic experience and future goals. Afterward, your application will be reviewed, and hopefully you'll be soon on your way to becoming a Yellow Jacket!

Keep in mind that each case is individual and the process may vary slightly based on your unique circumstances. If you need any further information, it's always advisable to reach out directly to their admission team. They are very proactive in supporting potential transfer students. Good luck with your transfer process!
