Deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing students in good standing at other accredited colleges and universities are welcome to apply as transfer students to Gallaudet University. In addition to completing an application, you must submit official college transcripts from all attended postsecondary institutions and at least two letters of recommendation. Deaf and hard of hearing students must also submit an audiogram (within the past two years). The Office of Admissions reserves the right to request additional documentation (e.g., standardized test scores, high school transcripts).
If you have completed fewer than 12 semester hours of college credit or achieved less than 2.0 cumulative grade point average, you must submit recent standardized test scores and a final high school transcript. If you have completed 12 or more semester hours of transferable credit (with a grade of C- or better in each course) and achieved a 2.0 or higher cumulative grade point average, you will be notified by the Office of Admissions if standardized test scores are required.
You may request official evaluation of transferable college credits. Gallaudet will accept as elective credit any college-level course completed with a grade of C- or better at any accredited college or university. Transferred courses may be applied to satisfy general studies requirements or major requirements only when approved by the appropriate department chair. The transfer specialist will notify you of these decisions. Transfer courses do not change the GPA at Gallaudet University, except as noted in the section entitled "Prior Permission Transfer Credit".
As a transfer student, you must meet the residency requirement, which requires residency for the senior year (at least 24 credits) and completion of at least half of the major requirements at Gallaudet. Additional general studies courses may be required to satisfy Gallaudet University degree requirements. Note that some departments may have additional residency requirements for their majors.
