Canisius College transfer GPA expectations?

I'm considering transferring to Canisius College but I'm not sure what GPA I need for a successful transfer. Does anyone know what's typically expected? I'd love to hear from anyone who has transferred there!

Canisius College, like many other institutions, doesn't openly announce a minimum GPA requirement for transfer students. However, they do emphasize that they seek students who have shown consistent academic success in their prior college coursework. That being said, a competitive GPA for transfer applicants is usually around a 2.5 or above on a 4.0 scale. This is an average and there may be exceptions on either end based on other factors, such as extracurricular involvement or the strength of your recommendations, among others.

While a 2.5 GPA is considered competitive, please note that more rigorous programs within the college may have higher expectations. Therefore, I'd encourage you to reach out to Canisius College directly or get in contact with an admissions advisor to receive the most accurate information about their transfer criteria tailored to your specific circumstances.

Do bear in mind their criteria for transfer credits. If you've completed at least 24 semester hours of college credit after high school graduation, you’re considered a transfer student at Canisius. They accept credits earned with a grade of “C-” or better from accredited postsecondary institutions.

Remember, these are all guidelines. The admission process evaluates other factors too and places a lot of emphasis on individual circumstances and context.
