Transfer Admission Guidelines
To be considered for admission to Hamline, the applicant must be
eligible to return to the institution from which he or she wishes to
transfer, or have graduated from the institution. Applicants must have
earned an overall grade point average of a C (2.0) in all college courses
completed. Enrolling students are generally expected to have a 2.5 grade
point average. Students with 2.0-2.5 grade point averages may be
considered for admission. Students who have earned less than sixteen
semester credits or the equivalent, must also submit a copy of their
official high school transcripts with their admission materials. We
reserve the right to request high school transcripts for any transfer
applicant.
Admission Procedures
Applications for admission are available from the Office of
Undergraduate Admission or by visiting
Hamline's online application site at:

Application Deadlines:

Academic Calendar

credits by 1.5. Note: Any courses taken prior to Fall 1998 will be
accepted under previous transfer guide requirements.

General Education Requirements and THE HAMLINE PLAN
Hamline does not accept the Associate Degree or the Minnesota Transfer
Curriculum as satisfying the general education requirements of the
college. All courses are transferred on an individual basis. However, in
most cases the transferable courses completed for the Associate in Arts
degree will satisfy many, if not
all, of Hamline's general education requirements.
A student may transfer to Hamline at any time. The maximum number of
credits that may be transferred to Hamline from a community college is
64 semester credits or 96 quarter credits. For transfer students,
generally the number of courses completed in a specific area will be
considered rather than the number of credits earned.
Major: Transfer of courses into major program will be determined by
the departmental faculty. See Hamline transfer counselor for more
information.
To meet Hamline Plan requirements, a course must be a least three
semester credits or the equivalent.
Please review the Fine Arts requirement for the exception.
