Transfer Admission Requirements

A transfer student is required to submit an application for admission at least ninety (90) days prior to the beginning of the semester in which he/she wishes to enroll, to insure adequate time for records to be processed. An applicant must submit the following:

Regular Status

A student with acceptable academic and social records at other accredited institutions will be considered for admission to Lincoln University as a regular-status transfer student. A maximum of 90 semester hours of academic credit may be accepted from accredited four-year institutions or a maximum of 64 semester hours of academic credit may be accepted from accredited two-year institutions. A transfer student with a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 on a scale of 4.0 for all college work attempted, and in good standing with the last college attended, will be considered for admission. A transfer student whose cumulative grade point average (GPA) for all college work attempted is less than 2.0 on a 4.0 scale, and who is eligible for re-admission to a college or university on probation, may be admitted on probation at the discretion of the University. Such a student must earn a minimum average of 2.0 during the first semester of enrollment. Failure to earn a "C" average will result in suspension. A transfer student suspended for academic reasons from the last institution attended may be eligible for admission to Lincoln University after one semester has elapsed and provided the student is eligible for re-admission to the institution from which he/she was suspended.

Special Status

A transfer student who has been suspended for disciplinary reasons from his/her previous institution may be considered for admission to Lincoln University after the period of suspension from his/her institution has expired. Admission under these conditions requires the student to interview with the Vice President for Student Affairs, who will provide a recommendation for acceptance into the University.
