Driving Regional Stength While Helping Students Achieve Their Educational Goals
We recognize that the safety and familiarity of home at a time when travel may be considered uncertain is a top concern. Thus, Mount Union is awarding a new transfer scholarship for students in the Carroll, Columbiana, Holmes, Mahoning, Portage, Stark, Summit, and Wayne County areas.

Scholarship is renewable for up to eight semesters
Students will receive an award equal to 50% of a student’s entering-year tuition and excludes room, board, and fees at Mount Union. The scholarship is renewable for up to eight semesters provided the student remains full-time and in good academic standing. Students will also be evaluated for a traditional financial aid package, including both merit and need-based aid, and will be awarded the higher of the two packages.
Virtual Transfer Information Sessions
We will be hosting two virtual transfer information sessions. During each session, you'll learn more about Mount Union and how to apply for admission as a transfer student.
The Mount Union curriculum is transfer friendly and helps you get the most out of your previously-earned credits. For courses to transfer, they must have been earned at a regionally accredited institution, reflect a grade of "C" or higher, and be in an equivalent program offered by Mount. Official transcripts will be the basis for determining what, if any, transfer credit will be accepted by the University of Mount Union; such determination will be made by the Office of the University Registrar at the time of admission on a course-by-course basis.
To find out more about transferring your credits, you can submit your unofficial college transcripts tocredit_transfer@mountunion.eduand get a credit evaluation.

To better meet the needs of area students who, because of safety, financial, or other reasons, prefer to reside at home and commute to Mount Union, the University has changed its commuter policy. For the coming school year, the University will permit students who live within 60 driving miles to commute from their permanent home address.
Mount Union has also established a Commuter House, located at 552 Vincent Street, Alliance, Ohio 44601. The purpose is to provide a comfortable environment for students to meet up with classmates, finish homework, or just hang out. The house has a kitchen equipped with a refrigerator and microwave available for student use, a living room with comfortable seating and a television on campus cable, and study spaces where students can be connected to University wifi.
