Schreiner
University is a great option for transfer students looking for small
classes, dedicated professors who actually teach (no teaching
assistants here), peer tutors, faculty advisors, a Writing Center,
an Honors Program, and many other services that support academic and
professional achievement.
Admission Process
Students who attempt course work at an accredited college or
university after high school graduation are considered transfer
students. An application, $25 application fee, and official
transcripts from all colleges where course work was attempted are
required. The University
Registrar completes a transcript evaluation
and determines the transfer grade point average (GPA) as well as
transfer of credit. Transfer students are required to have a minimum
2.0 Transfer GPA and must be eligible to return to last school
attended. Applicants with less than 15 semester hours of
transferable credit must meet the same admission requirements as
freshmen and are asked to submit standardized ACT/SAT test scores
and final high school transcript.
For more information on transferring your classes to Schreiner, the
University’s catalog is posted
here.
It may be helpful to read the introduction to Areas of Instruction
which explains the use of the Texas Common Course Numbering System
designation in parentheses next to the Schreiner course number.
Schreiner also posts current
curriculum guides on the website to assist both transfers and
current students.
