Undergraduate Admissions: U.S. Transfer

How to Apply

Each transfer candidate is individually reviewed with consideration given to both academic and personal potential. We consider the student's college record, academic references, personal statement, high school record, test scores and co-curricular activities. Emphasis is placed on the work done in college (as represented by grades and recommendations.) Typically, transfer students with a college grade point average of 3.0 or higher are successful at Clark.
