Dillard University evaluates the transcripts of transfer applicants (students who have been enrolled at another college or university on a part-time or full-time basis, not including concurrently enrolled high school students) in accordance with its own courses of study and requirements for graduation. Applicants should note that the university accepts no more than seventy-five (75) hours of transfer credit. Students must complete at least three-fourths of the courses required in their fields of concentration at Dillard.
Preliminary transcript evaluations are completed after the student has submitted their application for admission and all official transcripts. Official college transcripts must be submitted to the Office of Recruitment, Admissions and Programming and are not deemed official if they are sent to us by the student directly unless in a sealed envelope.
Transfer applicants must be in good academic standing at their previous institution. Students who are under suspension from another institution are ineligible for admission to Dillard University.
