Transfer Students
An applicant is considered a Transfer Student if they have previously enrolled at a regionally accredited college or university and have completed 24 or more transferable college semester units. A high school applicant who has attended a college or university concurrently while attending high school should still apply as a First Year Student, but must submit official college transcripts for any college-level work completed, attempted, or in progress during high school.
Dominican University of California requires applicants to have a coursework minimum 2.0 (‘C’) cumulative grade point average (GPA) in transferable college units. An Admissions Academic Forgiveness Policy (see the
Admissions Academic Forgiveness Policy for Transfer Students section of this catalog) is available to students who do not meet this requirement who are applying to all majors except Nursing.
Admissions requirements, application deadlines, and notification processes change regularly. Generally, students must submit an application, essay, proof of high school graduation (or equivalent), and academic information (such as official transcripts showing all college coursework completed, attempted, and in progress). Some students may be required to submit a letter of recommendation. International students may have additional application requirements and other required documentation to submit.
