Request transfer advice from your admissions counselor
"JBU made the process of transferring, which can be frustrating at best, so easy. My admission counselor was so helpful in the process, particularly because she was not only familiar with all the variety of requirements, but also because she was familiar with the state of Texas and even my specific community college."

Admissions requirements for transferring
If you've earned more than 24 college credits, you need a 2.5 college GPA to be accepted. If you've earned less than 24 credits, you'll be admitted based on our typical requirements of a 2.5 high school GPA with a 20 ACT, 1020 SAT or 66 CLT score. Either way, follow the transfer admissions checklist or get started on your application.
