“The transition to Wooster was made super easy by admissions, my academic advisor, and the registrar’s office. The admissions counselors made me feel so welcomed when I came to visit and assured me that they were there to support me. Transferring is a big decision, and you should be proud of yourself for deciding to find the right place for you. I promise it exists and it might just be Wooster.”
The College of Wooster is eager to work with students currently attending community college. We know that students who begin their college careers at a community college can be successful and happy at Wooster!
We’re able to give you a credit review before you even apply to Wooster– you can send us an unofficial community college transcript, and we will let you know how many of your courses would transfer into Wooster.
Typically, a C or above in a community college class will give you general education credits at Wooster. When you transfer in classes, only the credits transfer- not the grades.
Any student transferring into Wooster can count on spending at least two years here to complete their undergraduate degree.
Housing for transfer students is guaranteed, and we are looking forward to welcoming you to our campus community! Transfer student placements typically are based on a combination of class year and age to determine if an upperclass hall or first-year hall would be the best fit. Transfer students are typically housed in double rooms. If there is a medical/documented need for a single or other style room, students should reach out to the Academic Resource Center to start the housing accommodation process.
There are many paths to a college degree, and Wooster is committed to supporting you through that journey. Our transfer coordinator, April Gamble, is with you every step of the way.
If you are an international student, please contact International Admissions at global@wooster.edu.
