As the admissions staff that works with transfer students, we are very excited that you have expressed an interest in Augsburg College! Augsburg is definitely a transfer-friendly college, and we are looking forward to working with you in the transfer process.
Whether you are transferring recently earned credits or are returning to college after many years away, we are happy to work with you to make sure you receive the most credits possible for your previous learning.
Historically, the traditional, or "day," student body welcomes more than 200 new transfer students each year, while the Weekend College program sees approximately 90% of its students enter with past college experience.
At Augsburg, transfer students are highly valued. This is reflected in our careful attention to transfer students through the application process, including offering you a free one-on-one credit evaluation. For transfer students entering the day program, we have a special orientation program and academic scholarship program designed just for you. For those returning to college after years in the workforce, we offer an opportunity for you to earn credit based on your life experience.
Whatever your situation, we encourage you come visit Augsburg and find out for yourself what a transforming education can mean for you. A campus visit can include a meeting with one of us, a campus tour, and an appointment with a credit evaluator, a financial aid counselor, an athletic coach, or a faculty member from your department of interest. Bring a copy of your transcripts in order to receive an unofficial credit evaluation.
Augsburg generally grants transfer credit for liberal arts courses completed at regionally accredited institutions. Augsburg also considers the grade earned in the course in deciding whether to accept it in transfer; students must earn a grade of “C” or better in order for a course to be accepted in transfer at Augsburg. This indicates that the student mastered the basic material in the course.
As you move forward in the transfer process, please feel free to contact one of us. We would be happy to answer any questions you may have about Augsburg College.
