Transfer Students

You're considered a transfer student if you've completed 12 or more credits since graduating high school. Come experience college on the shores of Winona Lake - you'll feel right at home.

Learn what it means to be a transfer student at Grace College! Learn about admissions, application, and Grace transfer scholarships.

No need to worry, here at Grace, we make the transferring process clear and simple.

Your Credits Will Transfer If:

  • The credits are from an accredited institution
  • The grade received for the course is a C- or better
  • The classes are at the 100 level or higher (1000 level at some institutions)
  • The Statewide Transfer General Education Core (STGEC) fully transfers to Grace College

We will prepare an Unofficial Evaluation of Transfer Credit following the receipt of your college transcript.
