Transfer Students

Students who have attended another college or university can be admitted with advanced standing. Candidates for transfer admission must meet the high school subject matter requirements prescribed for incoming first-year students. Exceptions to fulfilling high school requirements will be granted following the review of a college-level transcript. The academic performance at the college level is the primary focus when giving consideration to admission.

Candidates who have been dismissed for poor scholarship, who are not in good standing, or who have been released for disciplinary reasons are not eligible for transfer admission.

Each candidate must submit an college-level official transcript, course syllabi, and individual course descriptions from each institution attended. While an admissions decision can be made without course syllabi and descriptions, the transfer credit evaluation process for those selected for admission will not begin until the course information is received. Information regarding transfer applications, including application deadlines, may be found at www.lehigh.edu/tapply. Each application must be accompanied by an application fee of $75.

Transfer applicants are encouraged to take an active role in ensuring that the various components of their admission application arrive at the university. If accepted for admission, transfer students will be notified by the Office of the Registrar regarding the total transfer credits Lehigh will grant to a student.

Housing

Every effort is made to accommodate transfer students' housing needs should they pursue on-campus housing, provided the established deadline within an acceptance notification to submit a non-refundable enrollment deposit is met.  Contact the Office of Residential Services, Rathbone Hall, Lehigh University, 63 University Drive, Bethlehem, PA 18015, or call (610) 758-3500.
