Transfer to Franklin College and
Begin a Brighter Future

Request from your high school guidance office or www.Parchment.com. If you receive the transcript, do not open it. Place it in a larger envelope and forward to Franklin College Office of Admissions by U.S. Mail. Transcripts need to come directly from Parchment or your high school to be considered official.

Request from your registrar’s webpage or www.Parchment.com. Again, transcripts need to come directly from Parchment or your previous institution(s) to be considered official.

If you have official results from the testing service, you may forward a screenshot of those to Franklin College Office of Admissions at admissions@FranklinCollege.edu. Submitting these scores is an option but is not required.

Your statement can address a suggested prompt found within the Franklin College online application or you may email to admissions@FranklinCollege.edu a free standing statement of up to one page about your personal/academic path to date and goals. In this statement, you may explain any difficulties you have had in the past (if applicable), why those occurred and how you plan to turn those around. A well-written statement can strengthen your application.

Please complete the top part of this form and then forward this form to your most recent school’s dean of students. Once completed, the dean should forward this form to Franklin College Office of Admissions.

Students five or more years out of high school should call the Franklin College transfer coordinator in the office of admissions at 317.738.8059 to discuss the possibility of a simplified admissions process.

If you don’t see a specific course evaluated, please send Franklin College Office of Academic Records a current course syllabus to determine transferability. If you do not have access to the course syllabus anymore, please request it from the professor who taught your course or from the registrar/academic records office at the institution where you took the course. This will need to be done for each course not yet evaluated.

Franklin College will accept undergraduate transfer course work, credits by examination and other non-traditional credits presuming the following:

• Transfer courses were completed at a regionally accredited institution.
• The coursework is substantively equivalent to Franklin College coursework.
• Proper, timely documentation is provided in the form of official transcripts, test scores or the equivalent (This is the responsibility of the transfer applicant.)
• The grade awarded is equivalent to C- (1.67 on 4.00 scale) or above, or test score is equivalent to the requirement as outlined in the Academic Course Catalog available on the Franklin College Academics webpage.

Franklin College Office of Admissions forwards all official transcripts of admitted students to Franklin College Office of Academic Records for evaluation of courses completed. Once the evaluation is finished, transfer students will receive their official transfer credits report.
