Consider getting a free credit evaluation with an admissions counselor who is dedicated to working with students who transfer to Keene State. The evaluation includes a review of your current credits, how credits can be applied to your studies, and a projection of credits that are left for you to take in order to earn your Keene State degree. With our admissions team, you’ll get the most out of the credits you earned through your hard work!
Let’s get started! Here’s how.
- First, make sure that you have earned 13 or more credits that can be applied to college – this is required to be a transfer student. If you have earned 12 credits or less, you will apply as a first-year student.
- Check out our majors.
- Apply.
- As a transfer student you must have your official college transcript(s) sent by all post-secondary institutions attended to the following:
- Admissions Office, 229 Main Street, Keene, New Hampshire 03435
- If your previous institution has the capability to submit electronic official transcripts, they can also email the transcript to admissions@keene.edu.
- If your previous college is no longer operating, please get more information from the N.H. Department of Education or the Department of Education in your respective state.
- (Note that if you are transferring 26 credits or less, please include your high school transcripts, due to federal requirements.)
- Once you’re admitted, we will notify you about which courses transferred in and how they were applied towards your degree program.
At any time, connect with your admissions counselor for a free credit evaluation or answers to your questions. We’re here to help you!
