At Swarthmore College, we recognize the unique obstacles transfer students may face when applying to and enrolling in four-year institutions—and so we’ve decided to do something about it. Here are some of the ways we are working to remove those barriers:

We waive the application fee for community and junior college transfer students. Students simply choose the “Community College Fee Waiver” on the Common Application or Coalition Application when applying.

We do not require standardized test scores from any transfer student and accept self-reported scores from those who wish to share their test results.

We practice need-blind admissions and award loan-free financial aid packages (grants and work study) that meet the full demonstrated need of any U.S. citizen, permanent resident, or student who is undocumented or has received Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status. Our “cash-free campus” policy eliminates some of the hidden costs of college, like printing, laundry, tickets to campus events, etc.

We waive enrollment deposits for financially eligible students and do not ask for a housing deposit.

We’re also keenly aware of how important transparency is in regards to the transfer of credit. Our goal is to keep incoming transfer students on track to graduate on schedule without having to retake course material. Typically, general education courses in the liberal arts are more likely to transfer than technical, vocation, and specific-topic courses. Admitted transfer students receive credit evaluations with their admissions decision in May.

We take a holistic and contextual approach when reviewing applications, and good-fit candidates tend to be:
• Intellectually curious and enthusiastic about learning
• Generous towards others and civically engaged
• Willing to work hard and seek help when needed
• Achieving mostly A’s in a rigorous liberal arts or general education curriculum
We look forward to hearing from you.


Sincerely,
The Swarthmore College Admissions Team

We offer more than 40 majors and minors in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences and engineering, plus pre-med, pre-vet, and pre-law advising.
