• Transferring Credits to Mount Union

  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 to credit_transfer@mountunion.edu and get a credit evaluation.

  
  Transfer Students Who Have Earned an Associate Degree

  Transfer students who have earned an associate degree from a regionally accredited institution are eligible to meet Mount Union’s general education requirements. Transfer students will have the ability to focus on their academic major and accelerate the graduation process.

  
  Transfer Scholarships

  There are several state and federal options available to assist you, as well as many Mount Union awards that are specific to your career at the University. View the Scholarships and Grants page to learn more.
