Transcripts
Official transcripts are those sent directly from an educational institution to the university in a sealed envelope or through a secure online service. (Other types of transcripts, such as those issued directly to a student, are not considered "official" for enrollment purposes.) Seton Hill requires official transcripts to be sent for enrollment purposes. Please have your transcripts send to:

- A completed application (apply online now for free!)
- Official college transcripts from all colleges/universities attended since leaving Seton Hill.
Deadline to Apply

Transferring Credits
You can transfer up to 90 credits to Seton Hill. To earn a Seton Hill degree:
- One half of the credits in your major must be taken at Seton Hill.
- Your final 30 credits must be taken at Seton Hill.
Once you're admitted into Seton Hill University and provide official transcripts from all universities attended, you will receive an official credit evaluation indicating which credits will transfer into Seton Hill.

Articulation Agreements & Cooperative Programs
Seton Hill has articulation agreements (an agreement between institutions that coursework taken at one institution will transfer into the program of the other) and cooperative programs with Westmoreland County Community College and Community College of Allegheny County. We also have agreements with a variety of schools locally, nationally and abroad. It is not a requirement that your previous institution have an agreement with Seton Hill for your credits to transfer.
Enrolling in Classes
Once you are accepted and have submitted your admission (and, if applicable) housing deposit, you'll be eligible to enroll in classes. We'll stay in touch and assist you throughout the admission and enrollment process.
