Am I a transfer student?
- Have you graduated from high school?
- Prior to enrolling at 麻豆社 Fox, will you have attempted at least 30 quarter hours or 20 semester hours at a college since your high school graduation date?
- Are those 30 quarter hours or 20 semester hours transferable coursework (100 level or higher)?
If you answered "yes" to all these questions, you're a transfer student.
If you’re not a transfer student, you’ll probably apply as a freshman student. But even as a freshman, you may still be able to bring in college credit at 麻豆社 Fox for courses completed at another college, through dual enrollment credits, or for alternative credit via AP, CLEP, IB, or foreign language equivalency.

Joseph Barnes
Class of 2020
As a transfer student, my admissions process looked a little different from many other students. Fortunately, my admissions counselors helped me understand exactly how my credits would transfer and what my time at Fox would look like as a result. This was extremely helpful to me, as I wanted to be able to take full advantage of the college credits I had already earned. This is not something that I experienced at other schools that I looked at, which helped solidify my decision to come to 麻豆社 Fox.
