Transfer Admission Requirements

Evaluation of Credit

It's easy to learn how your credit may transfer! Just call the Office of Undergraduate Admission at 1-877-CUChicago or 1-877-282-4422 to set up an appointment for a free credit evaluation. Please bring copies of unofficial transcripts for this appointment. In order for us to give you a complete credit evaluation, we ask that you provide a transcript from each college that you have attended.

Transfer Requirements

In order to accommodate your academic / financial aid status, we will accept all accredited college coursework. However, only 67 semester / 100 quarter hours can be applied to your program. You are not required to have an associate degree upon entry to Concordia.

If you have completed work beyond the lower divisional level, you must earn at least 32 semester hours and complete at least half of your major at Concordia.

Admission Requirements

Transfer applicants must submit the following to be considered for admission:

• A completed application for admission.
• Official transcripts of all college course work from each institution attended.
• A minimum cumulative grade point average for all college coursework of 2.00 on a 4.00 scale and evidence of good academic standing at the last higher education institution attended.

If you have less than 15 semester hours (22.5 quarter hours) of college coursework or have not completed one semester at full-time status, you will also need to submit an official final high school transcript, complete with graduation dates, or written documentation of successful completion of the G.E.D., and official ACT or SAT1 scores.

The Admissions Committee reserves the right to request additional information or documentation deemed helpful in evaluating applicants for admission e.g. letters of reference, recommendation, personal interview, additional testing, etc.

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis prior to each term. In order for us to serve you best, we encourage you to apply as soon as possible.

Illinois Articulation Initiative

Concordia University is a participant in the Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI), a statewide agreement that allows transfer of the completed Illinois General Education Core Curriculum between participating institutions. Completion of the transferable General Education Core Curriculum at any participating college or university in Illinois assures transferring students that lower-division general education requirements for an associates or bachelor's degree have been satisfied, excluding graduation and mission-related requirements. This agreement is in effect for students entering an associate or baccalaureate degree-granting institution as a first-time freshman in summer 1998 and thereafter. You can learn more about IAI on-line at www.itransfer.org
