Transferring to The University of Findlay can provide students great benefits in completing their degrees. There are several offices on campus that accept applications and work with transfer students. Please follow the guidelines below:
Transfer students with 12 or more hours who are interested in any of the majors below should contact the Graduate and Professional Studies Office for application materials.
- Physical Therapy
- Occupational Therapy
- Physician Assistant
- Pharmacy
- Athletic Training
- Social Work
- Nuclear Medicine

Transfer students with 12 hours or more who are interested in all other majors, with the exception of animal science, equestrian, equine business management, and pre-veterinary students, should contact the Transfer Coordinator.
Animal science, equestrian, equine business management, pre-veterinary students, and students who will be transferring in less than 12 hours should contact the Undergraduate Admissions office.
The University of Findlay must receive an official final high school transcript and an official transcript sent directly from each college or university attended by a prospective student.
An evaluation of the number of credits and courses accepted for transfer will follow the letter of acceptance. Transfer credit is normally granted when courses taken at an institution accredited by an approved accrediting agency are completed with a grade of "C" or better and are not developmental in nature as defined by The University of Findlay. Courses completed with a grade of "C-" or lower will not be acceptable. The final decision regarding the acceptance of credit rests with the Office of the Registrar.
Students under academic suspension or dismissal from another institution will not be admitted to Findlay until eligible to return to the former institution.
The holder of an associate's degree from an accredited two-year institution can transfer a maximum of 62 semester hours of credit to Findlay and, in most cases, receive junior class status.
International students entering The University of Findlay's undergraduate program must submit a TOEFL score of at least 500. International students whose medium of instruction was English at the secondary and/or post-secondary levels may apply for exemption from this requirement.
Students may transfer up to 12 semester hours of credit (completed with a grade of “B-” or better) for graduate work completed at another accredited institution toward a master’s degree at The University of Findlay. Any transfer of credit in excess of 12 semester hours must be reviewed by the program’s director and approved by the Graduate Student Academic Standards Committee. The Master of Arts in Liberal Studies accepts up to nine semester hours of transfer credit with the approval of the program director. In rare cases when students have taken ESL Methodology courses at other institutions, the TESOL master’s program may transfer in a maximum of nine credits hours. For all other TESOL students, the maximum number of transferable hours is six.
All transfer credits must be approved by the graduate program director and must be consistent with the course requirements of the program to which the credits apply. Transfer credits should be completed within the seven years prior to the student’s matriculation into The University of Findlay. The Office of the Registrar must verify that all transfers are from an accredited institution and acceptable for the graduate-level program. The final decision regarding the acceptance of credits rests with the Office of the Registrar.
