HOW TO TRANSFER TO LONGWOOD - GENERAL GUIDE

If you did not meet freshman admissions criteria, you must do the following to be considered as a transfer student:

1. Attend an accredited college or university and take transferable coursework in English, math, science and history.
   
   

   The following Virginia community college courses or their equivalents are required: Freshman English (English 111) College Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Statistics, or Functions and Graphs (Math 146, 157, 158, 163, 240 or 241) Liberal Arts Math I and II (Math 151 and 152) do not meet General Education Goals or admissions requirements at Longwood.) General Biology, Chemistry, Physics, or Physical Geology (Biology 101, Chemistry 101, 111, Geology 105, Physics 100, 101, 121 or 201) Science class must include a lab for a total of 4 credits. Western Civilization I or II (History 101 or 102)

   
   We strongly recommend that you take foreign language prior to transferring. To graduate from Longwood, you must complete foreign language at least through the 201 level (BS degree) or 202 level (BA degree).
2. Complete at least 30 transferable hours (one year).
3. Take developmental courses (non-transferable) if applicable per your placement test scores at the college you attend. If you place in developmental courses, you may need to remain at that college for more than one year before transferring to Longwood. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you take placement tests as early as possible so that you can take developmental courses in the summer to be ready for transferable work in the fall.
4. Earn at least a C in all classes and maintain at least a 2.5 GPA. This minimum GPA does not imply automatic admission. The average GPA for admitted 2006 transfers was 3.1.
5. Have transcripts sent from the college you attend at the end of each semester.

Remember: If you earn the Associate of Arts and/or Science degree from one of the Virginia community colleges or Richard Bland College and you are admitted to Longwood, all of your credits transfer (including D grades), you enter with junior status and all of your Lower Division General Education Goals are met. However, you are encouraged to consult the VCCS & RBC Transfer Guide to ensure that all of your credits can be applied toward your Longwood degree.
