Transfer Students

Transfer Students are different from First-time Freshmen. You know what you want in a college because you have been to college and found things you liked… and things you didn’t. Your questions are focused, and your desires are clear and defined. Or not. We are here to help.

Transfer students have two very common concerns:
1. How much will your college cost me?
2. And how many of my hard-earned credits will you accept?


FINANCIAL AID

We have new and improved transfer scholarships, so there is a good chance you will find Georgetown College both affordable and excellent. To learn how much aid you might receive, you can complete our affordability calculator here.


TRANSFER CREDIT INFORMATION

For an audit of your transfer credits, please fill out this form to submit a copy of your transcript(s) for review. Our Registrar will complete an audit of the credits you completed at your previous institution(s). The Registrar’s Office will email you a copy of your transfer credit audit after the review is complete.


KCTCS PARTNERSHIP MAKES TRANSFERRING EASIER THAN EVER

We’ve taken the difficulty out of transferring from KCTCS to GC. Students receiving their Associate in Arts (AA) degree from KCTCS can now transfer to GC with a plan in place to complete their bachelor’s degree in just 2 additional years.

The information below will help you understand how courses will transfer from KCTCS. If you have any questions regarding these equivalencies, please contact the Office of the Registrar at 502.863.8024 or [email protected]

Table Key

  • AOI (e.g., COMM AOI): This course has no direct equivalent at GC but fulfills a Foundations and Core requirement (GC’s general education curriculum). It also typically fulfills a major/minor requirement in the department.
  • Elective (ex., ART elective): This course has no direct equivalent at GC but will typically count towards a major/minor in the department.
  • *(ex. THE107*): This course fulfills a Foundations and Core requirement.
