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.

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.
Special note: We consider credits from unaccredited institutions on a case-by-case basis.
