Not Sure if You Want to Transfer - or How to Go About It?

Seton Hill Can Help with Free Credit Evaluations & Transfer Counseling Before You Apply

We'll be happy to take a look at the academic credits you already have and let you know which will transfer to Seton Hill. (We call this a transfer credit evaluation, and it's free.)

If you plan on transferring in the future but not right away, we can also help you choose the courses at your current school that will meet requirements for a degree in your chosen field at Seton Hill. (We call this transfer counseling, and it's also free.)

Select the "transfer advising" option on the inquiry form to be contacted.

Applying for Readmission to Seton Hill

Former students who have withdrawn from Seton Hill for one or more semesters must reapply through the Admissions Office by supplying:

• A completed application (apply online now for free!)
• Official college transcripts from all colleges/universities attended since leaving Seton Hill.

Deadline to Apply

Seton Hill University has rolling admissions, so there is no deadline. 

Transfer Credits

You can transfer up to 90 credits to Seton Hill. To earn a Seton Hill degree:

• One half of the credits in your major must be taken at Seton Hill.
• Your final 30 credits must be taken at Seton Hill.

Once you're admitted into Seton Hill University and provide official transcripts from all universities attended, you will receive an official credit evaluation indicating which credits will transfer into Seton Hill. Credit will only be given for courses in which you've earned a C- or better. 

(We can help you figure out which credits will transfer before you apply.)
