Applying as a Transfer

We are glad you're interested in learning about the application process! The admissions committee considers all submitted information when reviewing applications. Complete applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.

Admission Requirements

  • Completed Application for Undergraduate Admission, either online or on paper
  • $25 non-refundable processing fee for paper applications (fee is waived for applicants who apply online)
  • Official transcript from each college attended. A final transcript must be sent upon completion of any coursework currently in progress
  • Official high school transcript or GED is required for applicants who have not completed 30 college-level academic credits at the time of application
  • Optional: standardized test scores, interview, resume, letters of recommendation, and essay discussing academic history and career goals

Recommended Application Dates

Fall Semester:

May 1 if seeking merit scholarship and/or SU housing
June 1 for all other applicants

Spring Semester:
October 15 if seeking need-based financial aid
November 1 if seeking merit scholarship and/or SU housing

Applicants who miss the stated deadlines will still be considered for admission if space and/or funds are available.

Admissions Decisions

The recommended cumulative GPA for transfer students is 2.5, but lower GPA's may be considered. Applicants who have earned the Associate of Arts (A.A.), Associate of Science (A.S.), and Associate of Arts in Teaching (A.A.T.) degrees from regionally accredited institutions will automatically be admitted to VJC upon receipt of the application and all required documentation. However, acceptance to the College does not guarantee acceptance into a specific degree program. Some limited enrollment and accelerated programs, including nursing, may have higher GPA requirements. Please refer to the Academic Programs website for more information about the specific major in which you are interested.

Completed applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Decision letters are generally mailed 5-10 business days after February 1 for fall semester matriculation and after October 1 for spring semester matriculation.
