Widener University

All transfer students are reviewed for merit scholarships. Awards are based on a student's cumulative grade point average and major. The scholarship amounts range from $6,500-$14,500 per year. A minimum of 12 transferable credits are required for scholarship consideration. Second degree candidates and part-time students are not eligible for academic scholarship. For the scholarship to be renewed each year, you must achieve a minimum of 24 credits per academic year and maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.75.

A successful transfer experience is the result of careful planning. It is highly recommended that you consult your transfer office at the Community or Junior College you are attending.
Listed here you will find some established transfer agreements which include a course by course transfer guide. Follow this closely and consult with your transfer office. If you do, your transfer experience will be successful.
We are constantly working with Community and Junior Colleges to create and update agreements. Check this site periodically to see if one has been established with your school and major.

Widener University operates on rolling admission.

However, it is suggested that all applications are received by August 1st (if applying for fall admission) and December 1st (if applying for spring admission). Review of fall semester applications will take place from January through August. Review of spring semester applications will take place from September through December.

A decision is usually mailed within 2-3 weeks after the application is complete.

In order to be considered for admission as a transfer student at Widener University, students must be in good academic, disciplinary, and financial standing. Students must have at least a 2.00 cumulative GPA (3.00 for Nursing) for admission consideration. If a student has attended multiple institutions, the admission decision will be based on a cumulative GPA from all institutions. Admission decisions are generally made during the semester prior to the anticipated start term. Therefore, students are admitted before their final semester grades are available. It is the expectation that students will submit their final transcript and will successfully complete their current coursework. If the official final transcript does not demonstrate successful completion, the Office of Admissions will revoke the offer of admission. Students who already have a Bachelor's degree and are seeking a second Bachelor's degree at Widener are considered transfer students and should follow the transfer process.
