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.

1. 1. 1. By mail: Send us your completed application for admission, official high school and college transcripts, and the $25.00 application fee (remember it's waived if you visit).
      2. On-line: Complete all parts of the application. Request official copies of your high school and college transcripts to be forwarded to the Office of Admissions. The $25.00 application fee will be waived since you are applying on-line.

NOTE: Official transcripts are those sent to DC directly from the high school or college with an official seal or signature on the transcript.
