Transfer Applicants

Bloomfield College accepts credit for transfer from institutions approved by the American Council of Education and listed in Accredited Institution of Post-secondary Education. These courses must be similar in nature or content to those offered by Bloomfield College. Any question concerning the evaluation of these courses are referred to the appropriate division chairperson for review and/or acceptance.

Students from institutions not accredited by the above agencies will receive credit upon recommendation of the appropriate division chairperson and completion of six courses at Bloomfield College with a cumulative index of 2.0 or better. Please contact the Office of Admission with any questions.

All transfer candidates are encouraged to visit the College for a personal interview and tour of the campus.

Transfer Requirements

To be considered for admission to Bloomfield College as a transfer student from another institution, you must submit the following information to the Office of Admission:

• An application for admission, accompanied by an application fee of $40, payable to Bloomfield College.
• An official transcript from each college or university you previously attended. Minimum 2.0 GPA required.
• If you’ve completed fewer than 15 college credits you must also submit a copy of your high school transcript in addition to your college transcripts.

Transcripts of prior collegiate work are evaluated by the Office of the Registrar. In general, only courses at the 100 or higher college level, for which a grade of C (or its equivalent), was earned will be considered for transfer credit. Remedial courses cannot be transferred and do not count towards the 15 credit transfer minimum.

Transfer applicants who have not achieved a grade of C or better in College Algebra and College English will be required to take a placement test in one or both of these subjects.

Articulation Agreements

Articulation agreements are formal contracts between Bloomfield College and other institutions. These agreements ensure that, if you successfully follow a listed program of study, you should be able to transfer with full junior status. Students should contact the transfer counselor for updated information and a list of current agreements.

Direct Transfer Program

If you’ve earned an associate’s degree from a regionally accredited community college or junior college and you graduated with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or better you’ll be transferred in with a minimum of 61 credits. As a result, you’ll enter the College with Junior standing.

If you haven’t yet received an associate’s degree, we will consider your application on an individual basis.

Because the courses you’ve already taken towards your associate’s degree might not line up exactly with any of our bachelor’s degree’s specific requirements, we can’t guarantee that you’ll be able to complete the remainder of a bachelor’s degree in two years.
