Ripon welcomes transfer students from both two- and four-year colleges and universities. Transfer applications are reviewed on a rolling admission basis. Students are encouraged to submit all required information to Ripon well in advance of the beginning of each semester. It is to the candidate's advantage to apply early.

An applicant should present:

1. A completed application. You may download an application (PDF) or contact the Office of Admission to request an application by mail.
2. A transfer reference request completed by the Dean of Students or Dean of Housing at your school.
3. Transcripts from all colleges attended
4. A high school transcript
5. SAT or ACT results
6. A transfer statement explaining why you wish to transfer
7. $30 application fee

Students should have a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 2.00 on a 4.00 scale and be in good standing at their previous college or university. Students with fewer than 18 credit hours will be evaluated on the basis of their high school coursework and test scores in addition to college credits earned. Applications from students who have been dismissed by another institution will not be considered until one semester has passed.
