Student life

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.

Clark Transfer App

Transfer Common App

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 Deadline Admission Notification Financial Forms Deadline

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.

Mid-Term Report Form

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.

College Report Form

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

Financial Aid Requirements

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is required for all U.S. citizens or permanent residents seeking federal financial aid.
The CSS Profile is an online application used to determine eligibility for institutional need-based aid. It is required for all domestic and international applicants seeking need-based aid.

Additional Requirements for International Students

Proof of English proficiency is required if English is not your native language.

English Proficiency Requirements

A foreign credit evaluation is required if you are attending a college or university outside the United States.

Foreign Credit Evaluation

If you have taken national examinations such as A levels, GCSE, WASSCE, CBSE, ISCE, CXC, or CAPE, you are welcome to submit your test results, though it is not required.

After You Apply

Keep an eye out for our email with instructions on how to log in to the applicant status page. You can use the applicant status page to check your application status, review any missing materials, and receive updates.

If additional information is needed to complete your admission application, the Office of Admissions may reach out to you. If your application remains incomplete, it will be withdrawn only after we have made an effort to notify you by email about the missing materials. It is your responsibility to ensure that your application is complete.
