Admission Requirements

Transfer Applicants

Transfer applicants are not required to have completed a specific set of college courses or a minimum amount of units prior to applying; however, it is in the best interest of the student to follow these guidelines of suggested courses while enrolled at another institution.

Academic capabilities, as well as involvement in church, school, and community activities, are considered in assessing the applicant's potential for success at the university. The application process is designed as a tool for making these assessments.

Admission Requirements

The following admission requirements apply to students who have graduated from high school and earned more than 28 units of college credit. Transfer students with less than 28 units earned at the time of applying will need to submit additional information; see freshman requirements.

  1. Application, Statement of Agreement with Institutional Policy, and Personal Statement
  2. Application Fee
    A nonrefundable $45 application fee must be submitted.
  3. Transcripts
    The applicant is responsible for requesting that official transcripts be sent from each college he/she has attended to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.

    Official transcripts are sealed by the college and mailed directly or hand-carried to Azusa Pacific University.
  4. References
    Each applicant must supply a Personal/Christian Leader Reference from a person familiar with the applicant’s character, such as a counselor, pastor, youth director, or close family friend.
  5. Proof of U.S. Citizenship or Residency
    U.S. Permanent Residents or U.S. Citizens currently living outside of the United States may be required to provide documentation. Your admissions counselor will assist you in this process.
  6. Nursing Applicants
    Additional materials are required for nursing applicants. Refer to the Nursing Applicants page for further information.
