Transfer FAQs

Trinity considers any student with 12 or more hours of previous college credit to be a transfer student. This excludes AP and/or CLEP credit. Here are some answers to the most frequently asked questions by transfer students.

What are Trinity's admission requirements?

To be admitted, a transfer student needs to submit an online application and have achieved a 2.0 or better cumulative GPA from your previous institution(s).

How long does it take to be admitted?

Once you have submitted your online application and all of your transcripts, you should hear back from us about admission within one week.

Do I need to send official transcripts with my application?

For an initial review of your application, Trinity will accept unofficial copies of your transcripts. Upon enrollment, however, official copies of all transcripts are required. A student’s financial aid is also contingent on Trinity receiving official transcripts.

Credit Equivalency Guides

Wondering what credits will transfer to Trinity? We’ve developed Transfer Guides for many community colleges in the Chicagoland area, as well as for AP and CLEP test equivalencies.

These guides will give you a good idea of what will transfer in, but please note that we are not responsible for alterations of course numbers, titles, or content at the community colleges listed, and upon review of these changes, we reserve the right to alter our transfer equivalencies.

Current Trinity students should consult their academic advisors and the University Records Office prior to registering for courses they intend to use for general education requirements.
