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.
