Transfer admission applications are available to students who have successfully completed three or more transferable courses at a regionally accredited college or university. Transfer students must have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 to be considered for admission. Competitive applicants have a 3.4 to 3.6 cumulative grade point average. In 2007, the average cumulative grade point average for admitted students was 3.65. Students are encouraged to finish one full year of studies before seeking admission-in-transfer.
Because a record of college achievement would not be available at the time of consideration, first semester freshmen may not apply for admission to the term beginning in January.
All candidates for admission-in-transfer should complete the Transfer Common Application, the Boston College Transfer Supplemental Application and all other required forms along with the $70.00 application fee. All portions of the Transfer Application can be found in the Transfer Undergraduate Bulletin or on the transfer website at http://www.bc.edu/admission/undergrad/transfer.html.
A College Official's Report must be submitted for every undergraduate institution attended full-time by the applicant. Additional copies of this form may be obtained by calling the Boston College Transfer Office at 617-552-3295 or from BC's website.
Transfer students must also submit: an official high school transcript, official reports of standardized test scores, and official transcript(s) of all courses taken at other colleges and universities. Transcripts must be sent directly to Boston College by the sending institution. Transcripts issued to students and photocopies will not be accepted. The deadline for submitting applications is April 1 for the fall and November 1 for the spring. Fall candidates will be notified of action taken on their applications between May 1 and June 15. Spring candidates will be notified between November 30 and December 25.
Please consult the Undergraduate Admission Bulletin for additional information about admission-in-transfer.
