How to apply as a transfer student
Our transfer process is simple! Start by completing our online application. If you’ve completed a minimum of 24 credit hours at another college and are not applying as a student-athlete or to a program in the health sciences, your college transcripts are sufficient for application.
Once you’ve applied, we’ll help you maximize your application and get the most out of the courses you’ve already completed. Here’s how:
- A Saint Francis admissions counselor will help evaluate what existing credits may be eligible for transfer after reviewing your transcript.
- Coursework from an accredited institution, for which a C or above was earned, can count toward your Saint Francis degree.
- If you earned credit from Ball State, Indiana Tech, Purdue University Fort Wayne, Ivy Tech or Trine University, see their guidelines for information on commonly transferred courses.
- Saint Francis has articulation agreements with other institutions to facilitate the completion of an advanced degree.

“The transfer process was seamless because the admissions team worked with me to keep it smooth.”
Griffin Murray ’26 Marketing
“I started taking classes at Ivy Tech, but with my job, I could only take one or two at a time. The classes were also so big that there was no one-on-one support. Then I heard about Saint Francis. I really like the structure: classes are online, and we’re on campus or in clinicals two days a week. This allows me to earn my associate degree in Surgical Technology and my bachelor’s degree in Health Sciences.”
Brandi Austin ’26 Surgical Technology, Health Sciences
“I transferred from a bigger school that I didn’t feel had much community. Coming to Saint Francis was amazing. I was met with so much support right away and everyone was awesome to me.”
Samantha Rockwell ’26 Environmental Science, Biology
“I transferred to Saint Francis after a year at a college in West Virginia. I wanted a school with a small learning environment and a strong science program, so my aunt and uncle recommended Saint Francis. As soon as I stepped on campus for my visit, I knew I was in the right place. It immediately felt like home.”
