What are Olivet College's transfer requirements?

I'm planning to transfer to Olivet College and want to know what the specific requirements are for transfer students. Is there anything unique about their process that I should prepare for?

When it comes to transferring to Olivet College, there are a few things you should bear in mind. Firstly, you should have completed at least 12 semester or 18 quarter hours of college-level coursework after high school. If you have fewer than these credits, you will be evaluated on your high school performance for admission purposes.

Additionally, one crucial requirement is that you maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale from all institutions attended. This is something the school takes seriously, as it is an indication of your academic commitment and performance.

An important distinct quality to Olivet's transfer application process is the generous transfer credit policy. Olivet College will accept up to 84 semester credit hours from two-year institutions and up to 96 semester credit hours from four-year institutions.

After you've submitted your application, the next step would be to send in your transcripts. The college requires official transcripts from each college or university you’ve previously attended.

While some colleges require transfer students to submit standardized test scores, Olivet College is unique in that it has a test-optional policy for not just first-year, but also transfer students. Therefore, it is not necessary to worry about sending SAT or ACT scores if you feel they may not accurately reflect your academic abilities.

In terms of deadlines, Olivet College has a rolling admissions policy, meaning you can apply at any time and expect to receive your admission decision typically within 2 weeks after your application file is complete.

Remember, every transitioning process usually comes with its set of challenges, but putting in the necessary work to understand each requirement will make your transfer application process smoother.
