Transfer Students

Considering making a move into a new community? Whether you’re moving from another college or university or wrapping up your time at a community college and ready to complete your degree, Grace College is a great place to finish your journey at an affordable price.

As a Grace College graduate, you will be equipped with knowledge and skill to make a difference in your community whether near or far.

Am I a Transfer Student?

Wondering if you’re a transfer student? Answer three questions to find out!

1. Have you graduated from High School?
2. Prior to starting at Grace College, will you have completed 12+ college credits from an accredited college or university since graduating high school?
3. Do I want to study on-campus in Winona Lake?

If answered YES to all three questions, you would be considered a transfer student and can begin the process with our FREE Lancer Application.

Interested in transferring into our Nursing or Medical Imaging programs?

You’re off to a great start! Because these programs have specific prerequisite and admission requirements, your next step is to connect with Izzy Eaton, Transfer Admissions Counselor at izzy.eaton@grace.edu or by call/text at 574-498-2060. Izzy can help review your transfer credits, explain next steps, and connect you with the program as needed.

Transfer Academic Scholarships

As a transfer student, your hard work and dedication doesn’t stop when you come to Grace.  Through the process you’ll find people who care about you finishing your degree well and keeping it affordable. Just like our traditional undergraduate students, 100% of transfer students receive financial aid.

At the time of acceptance, you will receive an academic scholarship based on your current college GPA.

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)

Note:
Credit transfer outcomes may vary; in some cases, students will receive general education credits while others may receive major-specific credits depending on their area of study. Please reach out to us if you would like a course evaluation to gain a better understanding of how your credits will transfer to Grace College. Indiana College Core (ICC) credits will transfer to Grace College upon receipt of official transcripts from your previous institution, and credits from unaccredited institutions are considered on a case-by-case basis. Please note that a minimum of 60 credits must be completed at Grace College, allowing you to fully experience our academic community.
