Transfer Students

If you have any questions before you apply, you can connect with an admissions counselor who specializes in working with your specific needs and questions. Make sure to list yourself as a transfer student when you apply. If you are currently in high school and have dual-enrollment credits, please apply as a freshman.

You will need to submit your high school transcript (or GED or high school equivalent) and transcripts from all colleges you have attended. You or a school counselor may send unofficial or official transcripts by email to admissionsoffice@tkc.edu, by fax (877-349-0231) or by snail mail:

Submit an essay of your choice that provides a good representation of your academic writing ability. This writing sample can be an essay you have already written for a class. The writing sample should be approximately 1,000 to 2,000 words, an academic-style paper, written for class, and include citations. Please avoid submitting blog posts, journal entries, stream-of-consciousness, and creative writing pieces. Show us your best work!

Please note: students with below 24 completed credits have the option to submit either your ACT/SAT scores OR a writing sample.

For transfer students with below 24 completed credits, SAT or ACT scores are optional for spring and fall 2023 enrollment due to the COVID-19 pandemic. You may submit a writing sample (see “Submit Writing Sample” section) OR test scores for consideration.

If you wish to submit scores, complete an online request for ACT scores (use school code 2784) or SAT scores (use school code 2871). High schools sometimes include ACT or SAT scores on your transcript.

If you have 24 or more college credits, we will not review SAT and ACT scores. Kindly submit a writing sample instead.

In Admissions, we’re looking for students who are prepared to meet the academic demands of the King’s classroom. We require a minimum 3.0 high school GPA and a minimum 2.5 college GPA. If submitting test scores, we look for ACT sections of 24 or higher, and for the SAT an Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (EBRW) section score of 610 and Math score of 570.

We know the application is more than numbers on a transcript. Students who are slightly below our minimum requirements but who show promise in their application will be invited to participate in an entrance interview and will be reviewed by our Enrollment Management Committee.
