TRANSFER STUDENTS Click here for Frequently Asked Questions. Barnard has long welcomed transfer students from colleges and universities in this country and abroad. Some of our most well-known alumnae, such as Margaret Mead '23, Zora Neale Hurston '28, and Lauren Graham '88, entered Barnard as transfer students. A separate application is available to students who may wish to transfer to Barnard. Interested students should call or write the Office of Admissions for transfer information. A student who has completed 24-60 credits at another institution is considered a transfer applicant. If you anticipate completing fewer than 24 credits, you MUST apply as a first-year student. The number of transfer credits accepted by Barnard will be determined by the Office of the Registrar and students will be notified of their credit status at the time of admission.
