Transfer students make up a large part of the College of Charleston student body. Each year, we welcome many students from other institutions. Whatever your reasons for wanting to transfer to the College might be, you’ll find lots of students like you on campus. When you enroll, you’ll attend a special orientation session, and have a chance to connect with other transfer students.

Based on the number of credit hours a student has completed at another institution, there are four categories of transfer students:

  •  Transfer students with more than 30 hours of earned college-level credit
  •  Transfer students with fewer than 30 hours of earned college-level credit
  •  Readmit students — have attended the College of Charleston before
  •  Second degree students — have already earned one bachelor’s degree
