Transfer Student Checklist

  1. Complete a free online application for admission.
  2. Request transcripts from all colleges or universities previously attended. Grand View will do a preliminary admission decision with unofficial transcripts. Unofficial transcripts must be downloaded unofficial transcripts saved in a pdf format from the institution portal or current official transcripts in possession of the student. We cannot accept grade reports or photos of transcripts. Unofficial transcripts should be uploaded through our portal or emailed to the Admissions Office at admissions @ grandview.edu. Transcripts must be sent regardless of whether credit was earned. Students who are applying for undergraduate education endorsements only who have received a baccalaureate degree from another accredited institution, need only submit the transcript for the institution where they received their teaching degree. Failure to submit all previous transcripts will be considered sufficient cause for denial or cancellation of admission. If you have served in the military, request your military transcripts. You may use the Transcript Request form for your official transcript requests or request through your previous college or university websites.
  3. Students who have completed fewer than 24 semester hours of college coursework before applying to Grand View must provide an official high school transcript or official GED scores. Some applicants may need to submit additional information to be considered for admission to Grand View.
  4. Transfer students who have earned 24 credits or more must certify on their application for admission or through a signed written statement, that they have graduated from an accredited high school.
