Transfer Students
Transfer students must submit the following when applying
for admission: (1) a completed application; (2) Official
transcripts of all college-level course work as well as
secondary school records; (3) the Admission with Advanced
Standing form; and (4) the $30 application fee.
To be considered for admission, transfer students must be in
good standing with all previous or current colleges and have
a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.2 (on a 4.0
scale) in academically transferable courses as determined by
the Office of the Registrar. Official transcripts of all course
work are required, and credit is granted only for courses
similar to those offered at Roanoke and only for those with
a grade of "C-" or better.
A minimum of 17 academic units (excluding credit earned
for physical education and co-curricular activities) must be
earned at Roanoke College toward the degree. Students with
fewer than eight transferable academic units will be evaluated
on the basis of their high school record in addition to their
college work.
In general, students are to be governed by the Catalog which
is current at the time they begin their studies at Roanoke
College. However, a student has the option of declaring to
be under the jurisdiction of a subsequent catalog except in
cases where core requirements have been changed and the
College has stipulated those eligible to declare the new
curriculum. Should the faculty determine that a modification
in course work for the major is necessary in order for
students to complete a current course of study in a major,
the department reserves the right to modify degree
requirements for students who have not yet formally declared
their major.
Students transferring from a Virginia community college may
elect to declare any catalog in effect within the twenty-four
month period immediately preceding the term they first
enroll except in cases where core requirements have been
changed and the College has stipulated who is eligible to
declare the new curriculum.
