Transfer Students

Any applicant for admission to Fairmont State who has attended another collegiate institution will be classified as a transfer student. Every effort will be made to allow credit earned at other accredited colleges and universities to count towards a degree at Fairmont State. Transfer students must meet the previously stated admission requirements of Fairmont State. They must provide evidence of good standing at the institution last attended and must have maintained a minimum 2.0 GPA.

Students transferring fewer than 24 semester hours must provide an official copy of their high school transcript/home school or high school equivalency transcript, official ACT or SAT scores (if the student has graduated from high school less than 5 years prior to the enrollment term) and official college transcript(s).

Fairmont State University only reviews transferable credit from regionally accredited institutions and institutions with national accreditation that is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education for acceptance as credit in our academic programs.
