Admissions Requirements - Transfer Students
Transfer students must follow the regular admission procedure. Additionally, they must forward all official college transcripts from previously attended institutions. Transfer students may request an interview for an evaluation of credits before they file an application. Transfer students who do not have an Associate's Degree or higher must submit a copy of their high school transcript as proof of high school graduation. Transfer students should have applications and all necessary transcripts submitted by January 1 for admission in the Spring semester and by August 15 for admission in the Fall semester. Programs with limited enrollment capacities may have earlier deadlines.
Transfer students must be in good academic standing at their previous college in order to be accepted into Molloy, carrying a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 for most majors. Only credit hours are accepted in transfer; the cumulative average begins with a student’s first semester at Molloy.
The Admissions Office will do a credit evaluation either during the applicant’s interview or upon acceptance to Molloy. The “status sheet,” part of the student’s acceptance package, indicates those courses which are accepted for credit, and identifies all other coursework needed by the student to complete his/her degree at Molloy. The last 30 credits toward graduation normally must be completed at Molloy. In addition, students must take at least one-half of the major requirements at Molloy. Any exception to this must be obtained in writing from the office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs.
Students transferring in the AA, AS or the AAS degree will have all General Education Requirements waived except for three credits in Theology and Religious Studies and three credits in Ethics unless these credits are transferred in and accepted at the time of admission.
Students electing to complete a minor must take at least one-half of the requirements for the minor at Molloy.

Education students must attend Molloy full-time days during Phases II and III of the teacher certification program.

Generic nursing applicants must have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 in previous coursework to be considered, and Accelerated and Dual Degree nursing students must have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.3.
