Let’s Make This Simple.

Transferring to a new school is a big move. Even bringing your associate’s degree and community college credits to a four-year college can be stressful. You’re not alone. Nearly one-third of Avila students transferred here from another college or university. We know the struggle. We’ve been in your chair. So we work to make the most of your transfer credits. Talk with our Transfer Admission Advisors and let us help ease your move.

• Expert academic advising to ensure that you keep your credits and are on track to graduate – fast.

• Transfer Student Organization and special orientation sessions geared for transfer students
• Plus, internship and research experience opportunities in all majors
• Transfer in up to 90 credits! Avila puts you on the fast track to graduation- no credits go to waste!

The Transfer Process at Avila

1. Application for Admission – once you fill out our free transfer application we can begin looking at your college credits, scholarships, and grant opportunities. 
2. Official Transcripts – you need to contact your previous schools and request official transcripts of all your college-level work. Those schools will send your transcripts directly to Avila University at:
   Avila University
   Admission Office
   11901 Wornall Road
   Kansas City, MO 64145
   NOTE: Official transcripts must be obtained from each college you attended. Even if you have one transcript which includes credits from multiple colleges, we need the official transcripts sent from each individual college. If you have completed less than twenty-four (24) college credit hours you must also submit your official high school transcripts.
3. Submit a FAFSA. Avila’s FAFSA code is 002449. (International students do not need to submit a FAFSA for scholarship consideration). Domestic students filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid application will help qualify them for the most available scholarship, grant, and financial aid.
4. Admission – Once we have your transcript(s) you’ll be a candidate for admission. You will need a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 in the academic coursework accepted towards a degree at Avila University.
5. Schedule a campus visit. Our Campus Visit Coordinator will connect you with your academic advisor, a campus tour, and your Admission Representative.
6. Make your deposit – Submit a $50 enrollment deposit to the Office of Admission online, by calling 816.501.2400, or by sending a check to Avila University.

“I’m a transfer student so I was nervous about adapting to a new school. But so many of my professors have been so supportive and encouraging. I know I made the right decision.”
