A Clear, Supportive Path for Transfer Students

Transferring colleges can feel complex. Questions about credits, timelines, and next steps are common, especially if you are balancing school with work, family, or other responsibilities. Andrews University is experienced in supporting transfer students and provides clear guidance throughout the process, so you can move forward with confidence.

Guidance and Academic Support

Advising and support services help students understand program options, review prior coursework, and plan next steps.

Transfer Credit Evaluation

Prior college coursework is reviewed using official transcripts to determine how credits may apply toward degree requirements.

Clear Degree Planning

Academic advisors work with students to outline remaining requirements and help them understand realistic paths toward completion.

Flexible Learning Options

Depending on the program, students may choose on-campus, online, or blended learning formats to fit their schedules.

Transfer Credit Evaluation

Understanding How Your Credits Apply

Transfer students often have questions about how prior coursework will apply toward a new degree. At Andrews University, transfer credits are evaluated carefully using official transcripts, academic standards, and program requirements. Our goal is to help you understand what transfers, what remains, and how to plan your next steps with clarity.

Individual Credit Review

Official transcripts from previously attended institutions are reviewed to determine how coursework may apply toward degree requirements.

Accredited Coursework Considered

Credits earned from accredited institutions are evaluated based on academic content, level, and relevance to your chosen program.

Program-Specific Decisions

Transfer credit applicability varies by degree program and academic level, and some courses may fulfill general education or elective requirements.

Advisor Support Throughout the Process

Academic advisors help interpret transfer evaluations and explain how credits fit within your overall degree plan.

Andrews University Partnership Scholarship

Think You Can’t Afford an Andrews
University Degree? Think Again!

The Andrews Partnership Scholarship helps make a Christ-centered undergraduate education more accessible by rewarding academic achievement and supporting students from day one.

THE NUMBERS


Freshmen may qualify for $8,000–$14,000 per year through the Andrews Partnership Scholarship.

Over four years, eligible students may receive between $24,000 and $56,000 in Andrews Partnership Scholarship support, depending on academic profile.

Transfer students may qualify for APS awards of $8,000–$14,000 annually, based on GPA.

Nearly 100% of Andrews Students Receive Scholarships or Financial Assistance*

We know cost is a major concern when choosing a degree. The good news is that the price you see listed for tuition is not what most students pay. 

Every undergraduate student admitted to Andrews University  automatically qualifies for the Andrews Partnership Scholarship (APS), which significantly lowers the cost of your education.

*The additional $2,000 APS award is granted for one qualifying category only. Students who receive the International Partnership Scholarship (IPS) are not eligible for additional institutional scholarships. APS applies exclusively to undergraduate programs offered on the Berrien Springs main campus.

Scholarships and Financial Support

Understanding the cost of college is an important part of the transfer decision. Andrews University offers financial support options for transfer students and provides guidance to help you explore scholarships, financial aid, and planning resources before you enroll.
