Transfer Applicants

Candidates 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 previously attended.
  • Transfer applicants who have completed fewer that 15 college credits must also submit a copy of their high school record in addition to their college transcript(s).
  • Note: The College does not require SAT or ACT scores of transfer candidates.

Transcripts of prior collegiate work are evaluated by the Office of  the Registrar. In general, only courses for which a grade of C (or its equivalent) was earned will be considered for transfer credit.

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.

In addition, courses may be accepted from approved institutions in foreign countries. International students and those who have completed university level studies in foreign countries must have their academic records evaluated before an admission decision can be made.  Such students should apply for a Course-by-Course Report from World Education Services, Inc.

Direct Transfer Program

Candidates with A.A.or A.S. degrees from regionally accredited community or junior colleges will receive a minimum of 61 semester-hour credits for the curriculum completed. This program presupposes that a candidate has received the A.A.or A.S. degree with a cumulative average of 2.0 or better. Such students will, therefore, receive full junior standing. Students who have not received A.A. or A.S. degrees will be considered on an individual basis. It should be noted that because of program requirements and course cycling, the College can not guarantee that those who enter with junior standing will complete degree requirements in two years.

  • An official transcript of the high school record, to be mailed directly to the College by the high school, or a copy of the high school, or a copy of the high school equivalency diploma (GED) certificate.

You, the adult learner, will find an opportunity to work with faculty with professional experience who draw upon their students’ strengths while, at the same time, recognize their distinctiveness as nontraditional students.

Reactivating an Application

An acceptance decision is effective only for the semester for which the student is applying. If a student is accepted but chooses not to attend for that semester, the Admission Office will retain the application for two years. Within that period of time, student may request that their applications be reactivated. If a student has attended other institutions since the date of the last application, academic transcripts of this work must be submitted. After two years have elapsed, students will have to submit a new application, supporting material and application fee.
