Transfer Admission Requirements

If you are transferring to Barton from another college or university, you must:

• Have a minimum 2.0 transfer grade point average (GPA). Any student whose transfer GPA is less than a 2.0 will be admitted at the discretion of the Director of Admissions.
• Be eligible to return to the institution you last attended. An exception may be made if you are ineligible on a disciplinary basis if special clarification from the previous institution is obtained. Concealment of disciplinary ineligibility at the time of application to Barton is grounds for dismissal.

Application for Transfer Admission

To apply for admission, you must:

1. Submit a completed application form and the non-refundable $25 application fee to the Office of Admissions. If you're interested in enrolling as a part-time student, you must submit your application and fee to the Office of Lifelong and Extended Programs.
2. Have official transcripts of all previous college work sent to the Office of Admissions directly from the registrar's office of all institutions you've attended.
3. Have your official high school transcript sent to the Office of Admissions directly from your high school if less than 12 semester hours credit of your college work is transferable to Barton.

To ensure evaluation of your credits, we must receive your completed application and official transcripts at least three weeks before your intended session of enrollment.

If you're planning to enroll in a professional program such as athletic training, education, nursing, or social work, you must first obtain admission to the college and then be accepted into the major program. Athletic training, nursing and education require a minimum 2.50 GPA for admission; social work requires a minimum 2.00 GPA.

Transfer of Credits

All courses taken for general education credit toward an Associate in Arts or an Associate in Science degree are transferable. We accept these courses for core credit, even if you haven't yet completed your associate's degree.

Barton participates in the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement with North Carolina Community Colleges, which means you can transfer up to 64 semester hours from a two-year college. If you're transferring to Barton before completing your associate's degree, we guarantee that any equivalent major courses will count for credit, just as they do for students with two-year degrees.

You can check Barton's North Carolina Community College Equivalent Courses here (PDF).

To earn a degree from Barton, you must take at least forty-five semester hours at Barton -- 30 semester hours must be in upper level courses and 15 must be in your major.

Housing

Housing is available for all transfer students. You'll receive a housing application once you give your advance tuition deposit to Barton.
