Credits from the Registrar's Office at Bucknell.
APPLICATION PROCEDURES
Each candidate must insure that the following information is
submitted by the appropriate deadline:
-
An official transcript from each college attended.
-
An official secondary school transcript (high school record). If you applied
to Bucknell as a first-year candidate, please indicate the year of first-year
application. Your records may be on file and may be retrieved.
-
Results of the Scholastic Aptitude Tests (SAT) of the College Entrance
Examination Board. Bucknell will accept scores recorded on the high school
transcript, but the applicant is responsible for assuring that the scores
are reported. SAT results may be waived for candidates who completed their
secondary education ten or more years ago.
-
A Letter of Recommendation for Transfer Admission (Form C) completed by
the Dean of Students.
-
A $60.00 application fee must accompany your transfer application. If you
applied to Bucknell as a prospective first-year student, the $60.00 fee
need not be resubmitted.
-
A recommendation from a professor endorsing a candidate is encouraged but
not required. Please feel free to supply additional information supporting
your candidacy.
-
A Transfer Credit Summary Sheet which will be mailed to the applicant with
the acknowledgement of the application fee and which must be returned at
that time.
-
A catalog from each college attended is required by the Registrar's Office
for completion of the Evaluation of Credits. If a catalog is unattainable,
you may copy and send to the Office of Admissions pages of the catalog containing
course descriptions, degree requirements, and explanations of credit and
grading systems. An evaluation of transfer credits follows a formal letter
of acceptance.
-
Please notify the Office of Admissions immediately if your plans change and
you decide to withdraw your application.
We urge you to read the catalog carefully, particularly the sections
describing the prerequisites and typical course load and schedule of different
degree programs. It is economically impractical to send a full catalog
to every student inquiring about transfer. We ask that you visit the Office
of the Registrar at your college, or the library, and make use of the Bucknell
catalog that should be on file. If a copy of the Bucknell catalog is not
available to you, please have the Registrar or Librarian request one from
this office, and one will be sent immediately. You may also access the Bucknel
catalog online at www.bucknell.edu
