Salve Regina welcomes transfer applicants for all majors except nursing. If you aspire to a career in the health care industry, we encourage you to consider a degree in biology, chemistry, psychology, healthcare administration, social work or other related areas. For more information about career opportunities through these programs, visit our program finder.

If you are currently pursuing licensure as a registered nurse, we hope you will consider our continuing education program in nursing (RN-BSN).

If you applied to Salve Regina within the past three years, you may reapply by submitting a request for reactivation of application in place of the Transfer Common Application. In addition, you must submit all updated, official final high school and college/university transcripts, SAT/ACT scores if applicable (see policy above) and the official College Report from each college/university attended.

If you were not previously admitted to Salve Regina and you wish to reactivate your application, you must also submit one letter of recommendation from a recent college instructor.

Once your application and all supporting documents are received, a decision will be mailed and released through your student status page in approximately one to two weeks. If you are currently enrolled in courses, we may ask for a mid-semester grade report before we make an admission decision.

A formal transfer credit evaluation is completed for every admitted transfer student and sent via email within two weeks of your acceptance. Only courses submitted on an official transcript with a grade of C or higher, from a regionally accredited institution, are eligible for transfer. We cannot award transfer credit from unofficial transcripts. Final determination of transfer credit acceptance is ultimately made by the registrar and department chairs. To learn more about course equivalencies before your acceptance to Salve Regina, we encourage you to search our transfer credit database.

We welcome prospective transfer students to visit the University. We provide campus tours and information sessions, special admissions events and other visit experiences that give you and your family the opportunity to discover our oceanside campus.
