Academic standing is determined from these transcripts, subject to the following conditions:

• Transfer credit from other accredited institutions may be granted for courses that apply to MVNU academic programs.
  • Credit from non-accredited institutions is evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
  • Transfer credit applicable to MVNU’s general education core will be granted for courses in which a grade of C- or better was earned.
• MVNU requires a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 in order to be accepted as a transfer from another institution.

Students on academic or disciplinary probation or dismissal from another institution must contact the Admissions Office to determine the necessary steps to be considered for admission to Mount Vernon Nazarene University. The Admissions and Recruitment Committee makes the final decision.

Am I a transfer student?

If you have earned college credit after high school graduation at 100 level or higher, then you are considered a transfer student at MVNU. Students who have earned college credit concurrently during high school from programs such as post-secondary enrollment options or dual enrollment (such as College Credit Plus) are considered first-time freshmen upon entry to MVNU.

How do I know what transfers?

Have you already completed some college course work? Are you wondering how your credits will transfer and your estimated time to graduation? Asking advising questions before coming to MVNU is key to a smooth transfer. Request a preliminary transfer course evaluation for a quick snapshot of what transferring will look like. Simply email your admissions counselor with a list of your coursework and final grades for each class taken.
