Transfer Student Application Information

 

Transfer applicants are included in the regular Fall and Spring admission process. Admission to Pepperdine University is based on the student's personal and academic records. All available information is considered including school records, evidence of academic maturity and personal character, extracurricular activities, and general contributions to school and community. We are committed to building the best possible incoming class of students through a holistic and comprehensive review process.

Am I a “Transfer” Student?

All students are welcome to apply for admission to Pepperdine University at any time; however, a specific designation is made in regard to whether a student is considered a transfer applicant for admission purposes. Students who have completed 30 or more units of college work at the time of application will be considered transfer students in the admission process. This distinction means transfer applicants will be evaluated on their college academic records and extracurricular activities, as opposed to their high school records. Transfer students are still required to submit a final high school transcript, but they are not required to submit test scores. All students who are applying as transfers with less than 30 completed units will still be considered and may still transfer their course work; however, they will be considered freshman applicants or international student applicants and should return to Application Procedures for further information.
 

Do I need to transfer units?

All applicants who would like their prior college coursework applied towards their Pepperdine degree must transfer the units by completing the required steps on the Application Procedures page.
 

Transferring Courses

Students who are interested in comparing their past, current, and future course work with the requirements of Pepperdine University should check the General Education Requirements page and the Academic Catalog.

Furthermore, all admitted transfer students will receive a Degree Audit Report (D.A.R.) that will explain which units will need to be completed at Seaver College.  For more information, please visit the Academic Advising Web site.

Advanced Placement course information can be found here: AP Classes.

Pepperdine University has entered into Articulation Agreements with the following junior colleges to accept particular courses for General Education credit at Seaver College.
