Ready for the next step in your college journey? U.S. and international students are eligible to transfer to Clark for full-time enrollment in the fall or spring.
Apply using either the Transfer Common App or the Clark Transfer App—please submit only one.
Who is a transfer student?
We consider you a transfer applicant if you meet the following criteria:
- You have obtained a final high school credential AND
- You have matriculated as a full-time, degree-seeking student at another college after obtaining a high school credential OR
- You have enrolled in at least 12 semester credit hours of college-level coursework after obtaining a final high school credential
These criteria apply even if you withdrew before receiving grades. You will not be considered a transfer applicant if you took college courses to complete your final high school credentials. If you’re interested in attending Clark part-time or enrolling in evening classes, please reach out to the School of Professional Studies.

Application Requirements
We use our own application for transfer applicants, and there is no application fee.
We strongly prefer a letter of recommendation from a faculty member at your most recently attended college or university. If you haven’t taken any classes recently, we will accept a letter of recommendation from one of the following sources:
- a mentor
- a supervisor from a job or volunteer opportunity
- a community leader
- anyone who can comment on your potential to succeed at Clark
If you are currently in your first full-time semester of college, you must submit a Mid-Term Report Form from your current college or university. For all other applicants, the mid-term report is optional but may be beneficial if your grades in current classes are showing significant improvement.
A final high school transcript showing marks for each grade is required. GED, HiSET, or other high school equivalency credentials are accepted in place of a final high school transcript. Enrolling students must submit official transcripts before starting.
College transcripts are required from all institutions you have attended. Enrolling students must submit official transcripts before beginning their studies.
A College Report Form should be completed by the registrar, dean of students, or another college official with access to the student’s records. We require only one report per student, from the most recent college attended.
We are test-optional, so test scores are not required. If you chose to submit your standardized test scores, please use the codes below.
- SAT CEEB Code: 3279
- ACT CEEB Code: 1808
