The College of Mount St. Joseph conducts a comprehensive and individualized review of each candidate’s credentials for admission. Transfer students who have completed the equivalent of 12 semester hours and have a 2.0 cumulative grade point average from a regionally accredited college or university will be admitted in good academic standing.
Transfer students who are not in good academic standing from any college or university attended will also have their high school credentials reviewed.
We look at each student as an individual, so personal background, attributes and life circumstances are also taken into consideration. We seek students who will contribute to, and benefit from, the educational programs and activities the Mount offers.
Note: The admission office will not process undergraduate applications the week prior to class starting. Students must be admitted by the following dates for the upcoming semesters:
| Semester Start: |
Admitted By: |
| August 27, 2012 |
August 17, 2012 |

Any student admitted prior to August 17 and January 4, that would like to register for classes the week before school starts must have their financial aid determined prior to registering for classes.
