Transferring
to Wells. Transfer students may enroll at Wells in the fall
or spring semester after completing at least one semester at another institution.
Students transfer to Wells from junior and community colleges, as well
as from four-year institutions. They vary in age, background and life experience,
but share one very important characteristic: their commitment to education.
Wells College defines a transfer student
as one who has accrued the equivalent of one semester (12 semester hours)
or more of college credit following secondary school graduation. Although
a student may transfer up to 60 semester hours, she must complete 60 semester
hours at Wells to fulfill the college's residency requirement.
Students wishing to transfer to Wells
should be in good academic standing at the last college attended. Additionally,
Wells will only transfer course credits towards the Wells degree from institutions
that are fully regionally accredited.

are reviewed on a rolling basis. Transfer students must submit a completed

Transfer Friendly. Wells makes
transferring easy by providing students with credit evaluations prior to
enrolling. You will know exactly what requirements you have fulfilled and
which you will need to complete in order to receive your degree, before
you ever step into the classroom. Students also benefit from advising and
orientation programs. Wells is dedicated to each transfer student's specific
educational goals.
