Applicants can submit an optional personal statement that describes; 1) why they want to transfer to Saint Joseph’s College; and 2) their future personal and education goals.

We require official transcripts to be sent in from any previous institutions attended, including your high school. Contact your high school Guidance Department and have your official high school transcript sent to the Admissions Office. Contact your previous College’s Registrar’s Office to have your official college transcripts sent over, as well.

Send us your transcripts one of these ways:

1. Saint Joseph’s College
   Admissions Office
   278 Whites Bridge Road
   Standish, ME 04084
2. Email to admissions@sjcme.edu.
3. We also accept transcripts from Parchment.

Have a college advisor or professor write a letter of recommendation. If that's not available we'll accept a work supervisor or religious leader.

Recommendations may mailed or emailed to us at:

Credit towards graduation from Saint Joseph's College is granted for courses taken at accredited institutions with a grade of 2.0 or above on a 4.0 scale, if those courses are deemed both comparable to a course at the College and relevant to the student's proposed program of study at the College. Other appropriate college level work with a grade of 2.0 or better will be transferred to the Saint Joseph's College transcript, but they will not count toward a degree program at the College.

Credit for course work taken at non-accredited institutions may be granted on a provisional basis. Transfer credit is awarded by the Registrar in collaboration with individual academic departments. Transfer applicants will receive a preliminary credit evaluation of their post-secondary course work within two weeks of acceptance to a degree program. Students must complete a minimum of 30 credits at Saint Joseph's College in order to meet degree requirements.

All questions regarding the transfer credit and evaluation process can be directed to David Roussel, Interim Registrar, at 207-893-7798.
