Transfer Students

It is easier than you think

• Transferring your credits to Tiffin University is a simple process. Once we receive transcripts from all previously attended institutions we will work on completing a transcript evaluation. This will allow you to know how your credits will transfer to Tiffin University and what courses you would have remaining to complete your degree.
• Scholarships are available to qualified students.

Transfer Requirements

Transfer students seeking admission with 12 or more transferable credits will be required to submit their previous college transcripts, so long as the following is true: 

1. • Transferable credits must be earned from regionally accredited institutions of higher education.

   • The high school transcript may be required if transfer students have not met other admission criteria, such as minimum GPA requirements of a 2.0. 

The Transfer Process

1. Apply to Tiffin University.
2. Request official transcripts from high school and all institutions previously attended.  If you have earned an Associate’s degree Tiffin University does not need your official high school transcript.
3. Schedule a campus visit.
4. Meet with your Transfer Admissions Counselor to review your admissions file.
