The Transfer Experience

Every transfer student’s situation is different, and a one-size-fits-all approach just doesn’t work. Westminster’s approach is built around individual attention to your situation: your credit, your major, your goals for the future.

What to Expect at Westminster

Before you start classes, you’ll work with experienced advisors who understand how best to make what you’ve already accomplished in college work for you at Westminster. We’ll discuss your options, outline a plan to make sure your goals can be reached, and get you registered for your first semester’s classes.

In that first semester you’ll be placed in WSM 102, a one-credit Westminster Seminar designed specifically for transfer students, which will acquaint you with the services and resources available, and help you work on the academic skills you need to thrive at Westminster. You’ll work closely with your transfer advisor to make sure that you get the classes you need in order to finish your requirements and become not just a Westminster student, but a Westminster graduate.

“I chose Division III Athletics and Westminster College for the opportunity to continue playing the sport I love while being involved on campus. I have been allowed to hold leadership positions that have taught me skills that I will carry with me post-grad, while also being able to obtain a quality education.”
