Admissions Procedures for Transfer Students

You can visit with us at any time for an informal evaluation of your completed college coursework – prior to actually applying!  Whether you have attended one school or several, we will review all of your transcripts to help you choose the degree that will allow you to maximize your transfer credit.   Contact our Admissions Office and schedule an appointment, campus tour, and a same-day review of your transcripts.

Transfer credits are granted for courses taken at other regionally accredited institutions which meet the following criteria:

• They apply to the student’s degree program at GBC.  

• The courses were taken within a reasonable timeframe (usually the past ten years).  

• The student earned a grade of “C” or better in the class.  

• The courses were credit-bearing, non-developmental classes.

While the College can conduct an informal assessment of your credits, an official transcript is required before the transfer of credits can be finalized. Once the transcript has been received, the approved credits will be transferred to the student’s permanent record at Goldey-Beacom College.  Grades earned elsewhere are not calculated in the student’s cumulative grade point index, which reflects only the courses completed at GBC.

In addition to course work completed at a college or university, Goldey-Beacom also reviews credit for transfer from the following sources:  

• Advanced Placement (AP)

• American Institute of Banking (AIB)

• Army (AARTS)

• College Level Examination Program (CLEP)

• Community College of the Air Force

• Center for Financial Training (CFT)

• Coursework evaluated by the American Council on Education (ACE)

• Sailor/Marine American Council on Education Registry Transcript (SMART)

• United States Coast Guard Institute

While formal Articulation Agreements have been established with the following colleges, Goldey-Beacom welcomes students with transfer credit from accredited colleges and universities.

• Cecil Community College

• Delaware Technical and Community College

• Gloucester County College

• Howard Community College

Once students have matriculated at Goldey-Beacom College, they are expected to complete all remaining credits at the College. To complete the application process for transfer, students must provide the following to the Admissions Office:

1. An official copy of the high school transcript or Graduate Equivalency Diploma (GED). High school verification or GED is not required if 24 transferable credits are earned at an accredited institution.

2. Official transcripts for all previously completed college work at other institutions.

3. Appointments may be made with the Admissions Office between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Fridays; or on selected Saturdays.
