Transfer Student Admissions and Scholarships

You can transfer in the fall semester for all academic programs, and in the spring for the vast majority of our programs.* 

Interested in a GMercyU Nursing program? We offer three options, including starts in the Fall, Spring, and a junior-year Fast-Track Summer start program. Applications are now being accepted for all three options in 2025. 

*Only our Radiation Therapy program and sophomore-level Nursing transfer program are fall-only starts.

GMercyU’s rolling admissions means you can apply at any time! For most programs, you’ll receive an admissions decision in as few as two weeks.

Please check our deadlines to apply for our nursing transfer options. 

Yes! GMercyU offers renewable transfer student merit scholarships that range from $10,000 to $18,000 per year.

In addition to merit scholarships, you may qualify for need-based aid. Complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) with GMercyU’s school code (003270) to find out. 

If you are applying to start in the fall semester, you can apply via the free GMercyU online application or the Common App. Please submit only one application.

If you are applying to start in the spring semester, please apply via the GMercyU online application.

If you have less than 24 college credits, please submit your final, official high school transcript. (To be considered official, must be sent directly from your high school, Naviance, or Parchment. Any transcripts submitted by the student cannot be deemed "official.")

Have your transcript sent electronically to admissions@syria-events.com or mailed to:

Yes! You can transfer up to 90 qualifying credits toward a bachelor’s degree. Our goal is to make sure you get all the credit you deserve. During your free transfer evaluation, a specially trained admissions counselor will review with you the work you’ve completed at other colleges and universities to see which courses transfer into your program of choice.

To streamline the process, we hold transfer agreements with many area schools.  

Articulation Agreements are partnerships with other schools designed to make the transfer process as easy as possible. Once you apply, we will complete a course evaluation to see which of your credits at that school are transferable.

Core-to-Core Agreements mean we will accept the general education credits completed for specific degrees from a community college.

Dual Admissions Agreements mean you’re guaranteed admission to GMercyU when transferring into a designated major of choice as long as you meet the eligibility requirements that are clearly spelled out in the agreement. Students transferring under the Dual Admission program are also guaranteed scholarships! To participate, students need to complete a letter of intent.

Program-to-Program Agreements are pathways, maps, or guides that indicate how the courses of an associate degree transfer to GMercyU’s major curriculum. These agreements provide guidance for the elective courses that students should complete in order to transfer in with junior-year status.

Signature Seminars are unique to GMercyU and undergraduate students are required to take two of them (6 credits total). The Seminars range from a variety of topics and are taught by professors in multiple disciplines. GMercyU's core values of integrity, respect, service, and social justice are interwoven throughout each course. These inspiring, engaging courses underscore our University’s mission and commitment to making a difference and as such, most seminars from other institutions are not transferable to satisfy a GMercyU Signature Seminar.

Yes! The residence halls were full for the fall 2024 semester. If you are interested in housing, please check with your admissions counselor right away to see if there is room in the residence halls for the spring 2025 semester. Learn more about our Residence Halls here.

For fall 2025, please apply for housing as soon as you make the decision to attend GMercyU. To reserve your spot when you are accepted, a completed housing application and $200 non-refundable housing deposit are required.
