Transfer Students
We welcome your interest in Defiance College!
Whatever your reasons for transferring, we're here to help make your transition as
smooth as possible.
An admission counselor will assist you throughout your admission process. You can
start by applying for admission. If you apply online, we'll waive the application fee! A list of items you need to apply is on the online
application form.
Start the Transfer Process Early
It is very important that you start the transfer process early! Even if you are just
beginning your post-secondary education and do not plan to transfer to Defiance College
until a future semester, it is never too early to begin. A little bit of advanced
planning helps you to make the most of your time and money!
Transfer Credit Evaluation
Defiance College can determine the transferability of your previously-earned college
course work even before you apply for admission. By sending a transcript listing your
completed courses to our Registrar's Office, we can do a preliminary evaluation within
two to three business days.

_____ Apply for Admission
There are three easy ways: by mail, on-line, in person.
