considering a transfer to Denison University!

To apply, you must download
the Denison Transfer Application available on-line http://www.denison.edu/admissions/transfer.pdf,
complete the required information, and mail it to Denison at the address given
on the application. Denison does not
accept the Transfer Common Application, and you cannot complete the application
on-line.
Application Deadlines
Fall Semester - June 1
Spring Semester - December 1
Applications need to be completed and in
our hands by the corresponding deadline. As transfer applicants are accepted on a rolling basis, please be aware
that we accept only a limited number of transfer students based on enrollment
and residential availability.
Is There a Minimum GPA to Apply?
A minimum 3.00 GPA is required to apply for admission.
Can I Apply As A First-Year Transfer Student?
Denison does not consider
applications from first-year students who wish to transfer mid-year.
Are There Merit Scholarships Available for Transfer
Students?
Transfer students are
automatically considered for merit scholarships which range from
$8,000-$17,000.
Is A Campus Visit And Interview Required?
Students are strongly encouraged to visit campus and
arrange an interview. Preference will be
given to students who have interviewed. A campus tour and interview may be scheduled on-line at www.denison.edu/admissionsor by calling 1-800-DENISON. Whether you
schedule on-line or by telephone, be sure to identify yourself as a transfer applicant.
How Do I Learn What Credits Will Transfer?
If admitted to Denison, Larry
Murdock, Denison’s Registrar, will do a transfer credit evaluation. This evaluation includes a summary of all
courses and credit hours acceptable toward graduation from Denison, as well as
what General Education requirements will need to be fulfilled at Denison.
What Do I Need To Know When Reviewing The Evaluation
Of My Credits?
Credit for course work
completed at an accredited college or university normally will transfer, if the
credits are in a discipline taught at Denison, and if a minimum grade of C was
granted. There is no limit to the amount
of transfer credit Denison will accept. However, to be eligible for a Denison degree, you must complete at least
60 semester hours of credit at Denison; most courses are 4 credits.If you have received an Associate degree, it
does not guarantee that you will enter Denison as a junior, since again the
evaluation of transfer credit is based on course work, not degree granted.
How do I Register for Classes?
Students may register for
classes by scheduling an appointment with Mr. Murdock. Registration may be
completed either by phone or in person. The Registrar may be reached at Murdock@denison.edu
or by calling 740-587-6530.
What Are The Housing Options?
Denison is a residential
college with a variety of housing options. All students are required to live on-campus unless they live within a 25
mile radius with a parent or guardian. Transfer students will not be roomed with first-year students. For specific questions concerning housing
please contact Donna Davis at davisd@denison.edu
or by calling 740-587-6272.
August Orientation and January Orientation
In August, transfer students
arrive on-campus with the incoming first-year class. This allows transfer students an opportunity
to become familiar with the campus and also to meet other transfer
students. During August Orientation
there are special sessions tailored to the interests of transfer students. For those transfer students entering in
January, there will be an individual orientation. For specific questions
concerning this orientation please contact Julie Chrislip at chrislip@denison.edu or by calling
740-587-6224.
If I Transfer to Denison May I Participate in an
Off-Campus Study or Study Abroad Program?
To be eligible for a Denison
degree transfer students must complete at least 60 semester hours of credit as
a full-time Denison student on campus. Participation in the Off-Campus Study or
Study Abroad Programs is possible, as long as the student meets both the
requirements of the individual program and the requirements for graduation.
Test Optional Policy
Submission of the SAT or ACT
is optional. The quality of your academic performance and the rigor of courses
selected at both high school and college are the most important facts
considered by the Admissions Committee. Independent of the admission process
and solely for the purpose of the College’s research, students who have taken
the standardized tests must submit the official results of these tests upon
enrolling.
