Transfer Policy

Drury University maintains a policy that a student from an accredited college may apply for admission as a transfer student. The student should be in good standing with the previous college attended and eligible to return to that college. Applications are due at least two weeks prior to the beginning of a new semester or summer term and will not be accepted after that date.

In addition to the required application (and essay), transfer applicants are required to submit the following:

  1. Final official transcripts from each college previously attended.
  2. A secondary school record.
  3. ACT or SAT scores if the student has completed fewer than 30 semester hours of college coursework.
  4. If an associate of arts degree recipient, a statement from the registrar of the college from which he or she graduated stating:
    • degree earned, as well as
    • type of academic program completed.

Credits completed at other regionally accredited institutions may be transferred if the student has obtained a C or better in the course and if the course is applicable to the degree sought at Drury. Applicants from colleges not regionally accredited, but state university or state approved, may be accepted after a year of successful completion of academic work at Drury University.

Statements concerning the possibility of transfer and the applicability of specific credit toward any of the degree programs at Drury University are made after thorough study of the official credentials. Transfer students receive an official written evaluation.

To be eligible for graduation, transfer students must complete at least the senior year; the last 30 semester hours (60 hours for master of architecture), in residence.

Those students who have obtained an associate of arts degree from an accredited two-year college in a parallel academic program with the bachelor's program at an accredited four-year institution will be entered with junior year status into a fouryear degree program.

Any student who has previously attended another institution of higher education but fails to include such information in the application for admission to Drury University thereby forfeits the right to be a Drury student. While a student is working toward a degree at Drury University, prior approval is required before enrolling at any other institution for any coursework for which the student would like to receive transfer credit.

A transfer student is defined as a student who has matriculated as a degree-seeking student at another college and spent at least a semester enrolled as a college freshman. Students who complete college credits on a dual credit basis or who earn hours through Advanced Placement or other testing are not transfer students.
