Transferring Courses
We have a number of tools to help you determine how your previous course credits can transfer to ACU. You may apply up to 66 transfer credit hours from a community, junior or other two-year college, and up to 88 transfer credit hours in total. Grades from your transferred courses will not be calculated into your GPA at ACU.
Scholarships for Transfer Students
ACU has designated financial aid resources for transfer students. Your cumulative transfer GPA will determine your eligibility for a transfer merit award, and the Transfer Student Transition Grant is allocated according to your FAFSA filing. If you transfer within one year of graduating high school, ACU will calculate your financial award as a first-year student.
Transfer Portal
To support your transition to ACU, we’ve created a go-to hub for information on what courses will transfer and what remains to be completed to earn your degree.
Living on Campus
Residential students at ACU engage in transformative living among a community of avid learners who share your vision for thriving in your studies and your relationships. When you join life on campus, you’ll join your peers on a journey of vibrant faith and scholarship.
Admissions Process for Transfer Students

- Apply using the online transfer application.
- Submit transcript(s)
- If you have completed more than 24 transferable hours, please submit all college transcripts.
