Transfer of Credits to Beacon
To receive transfer credits, transfer students are required to present official transcripts from the transfer institution(s). Catalog course descriptions or course syllabi may also be requested. Official documentation must be submitted prior to the end of the first academic term.
Transfer Requirements
Beacon College accepts credit only from regionally accredited institutions and programs and will not award credit based on training provided by non-collegiate institutions, professional certification, or experiential learning. Beacon College evaluates and accepts transfer credits on an individual basis.
Transfer credits may be considered for acceptance with a grade of (C) or better.
Transfer credits cannot exceed 30 credits for the A.A. degree or 90 credits for the B.A. degree.
Credits can only be awarded in areas offered within the current curriculum of Beacon College and must relate appropriately to the student’s educational program.
The College does award credit based on ETS advanced placement when the grade is equivalent to a (C) or above.
Beacon College reserves the right to deny credit for specific courses. Once the official transcript has been received, the transfer student’s academic advisor will review and evaluate the transcript to determine which course credits may be transferred to Beacon College and if they can be used toward program requirements, minor requirements, general education requirements, or elective credits. The
Registrar
will notify the student of credits accepted within five (5) days of receipt of the official transcript.
Application Process
The transfer process is very similar to what you would have experienced applying to colleges previously with one main difference: you will need to provide your college transcripts with your application.
Transfer students are invited to
apply online
or with the
CommonApp
.
How to Apply
Transfers to Other Colleges or Universities
The transferability of Beacon College credits to other colleges and universities is at the discretion of the accepting institution. It is the student’s responsibility to confirm that credits will be accepted by the college the student is transferring to. To request your official transcript from the Beacon College Office of the Registrar, please complete

College life goes beyond academics. Our new student orientation, club fairs, and Office of Student Engagement help you become a part of the community — from clubs and activities to residence life, athletics, and more. Beacon’s community values permeate all areas of campus in order to help students achieve at their highest level — both in and out of the classroom.
Life at Beacon
One reason transfer students choose Beacon is our bright and sunny location in Central Florida. With warm weather and outdoor recreation throughout the academic year, many students who learn differently find better mental and physical health here in Leesburg. Our campus takes advantage of this location with scenic pocket parks and outdoor recreational spaces for students to hang out, meet friends, or do schoolwork.
Our Campus
Intellectual challenge is at the heart of a Beacon education, but transferring these skills to a career is even more important. Our nine bachelor’s degree programs are intended to prepare our students to find worthy work in today’s global marketplace. Additionally, we encourage students to explore their diverse interests through one or more of our 17 minors.
Learn More
Beacon’s location in Central Florida, a short distance from Orlando, is of great benefit to our students seeking internships and work experience with major corporations and employers. A few of our career experience partners include Disney, Jet Blue, Southwest, SeaWorld, and JP Morgan, and our Career Center is expanding our networking system with global employers. Our corporate partners share our vision of a promising and satisfying future for Beacon College graduates.
Internships & Experiences
We’re committed to making your college education affordable and accessible. Our staff is here to help you navigate the process, understand your options, and take the steps to secure your funding.
