Other Voices: Tips & Tricks on Transferring to GBC

Thinking about transferring to Goldey-Beacom College? We’re thrilled you’re considering joining our community! Whether coming from a two-year or four-year institution, we aim to make your transfer process as smooth and straightforward as possible.

Admissions Requirements

Getting started is easy! Just complete our free online application at www.gbc.edu.

You’ll also need to submit:

• Your final official high school transcripts with proof of graduation, and
• Official transcripts from all previously attended colleges or universities.

These documents help our admissions and academic teams ensure you get the most out of your previous coursework and educational experience.

Transfer Credit Evaluation

GBC is very transfer-friendly! You can transfer up to 90 credits towards a bachelor’s degree and 30 credits towards an associate’s degree. We accept credits from:

• Courses taken at other regionally accredited institutions. Courses must be credit-bearing (100-level or higher) and completed with a C- or better grade.
•  Advanced Placement (AP)
• American Institute of Banking (AIB)
• 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)
• Delaware Career and Technical Education (CTE)
• International Baccalaureate (IB)
• Joint Service Transcript (JST)
• United States Coast Guard Institute

Our Academic Affairs team reviews, evaluates, and approves each transcript. Remember to submit all final, official transcripts before enrollment to confirm transfer credits and finalize your financial aid.

Scholarships and Financial Aid

GBC awards merit-based and endowed scholarships to qualifying transfer students. These awards are determined based on your final high school GPA or college GPA, whichever is higher.

Don’t forget to fill out the FAFSA each year to determine your eligibility for financial aid.  You can list up to 10 schools — include Goldey-Beacom College (School Code: 001429) so we get your info.
