Transfer Admissions

To be considered for admission, you must submit a complete online application. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis for regular admissions.

During the application process, you may send unofficial transcripts directly from your high school or your prior college(s). Official transcripts will be needed upon your enrollment at LIM College. Electronic delivery is preferred and transcripts should be sent to admissions@limcollege.edu.

We encourage you to complete an Activity Sheet as part of your application. This form gives us a deeper understanding of your work and volunteer experiences, extracurricular activities, and awards and achievements.

While the Activity Sheet is not required for admissions consideration, we strongly encourage you to upload the form with your application, as it shows us who you are beyond your GPA.

If you'd like to do an on-campus or virtual interview to supplement your application, email us at admissions@limcollege.edu or call (212) 310-0639.

We may ask some applicants to interview on campus. If so, we will contact you to schedule a time for you to meet with us.

LIM College has a test-optional policy for admission, which means you can decide whether or not to submit your SAT or ACT scores.

You are a transfer applicant if you are currently, or have ever been, enrolled in a college or university as a degree-seeking student. If you have only taken college courses as a non-degree student or during high school, you should still apply as a first-year student.

LIM College is proud to have a very generous credit transfer policy (the maximum number of accepted transfer credits that may be applied towards a bachelor’s degree is 85).

You should start by reviewing our Transfer Credit Guidelines and see if your community college is an LIM articulation agreement partner.

If you apply to LIM, you will receive a minimum of 2 custom transfer credit evaluations during the application-to-enrollment process, as well as the option to participate in a graduation planning appointment with an Academic Advisor.

Learn more by attending any of our Transfer Services Day or virtual Transfer Series events.

Our Transfer Services team will help determine which of your college credits will apply towards your LIM degree. We have a generous transfer policy, so probably most or all of them!

We accept applications on a rolling basis, up to the beginning of the Fall or Spring semester, until all openings are filled. However, we strongly encourage you to apply as early as possible because our class sizes are limited. Once you submit all application materials, we’ll notify you of our decision within two to four weeks.

You can also get an Instant Decision by attending any of our Transfer Services Day or virtual Transfer Series events.

Once all application requirements are met, the Office of Admissions will notify applicants of its decision within two to four weeks.

LIM College does not require standardized tests as part of its admission process. Our test-optional policy means you can decide whether or not to submit your SAT or ACT scores.

If you do submit your scores, they can help support your application and/or they can be used to evaluate academic placement should you decide to enroll at LIM.
