Planning Your College Transfer
Planning your college transfer is an important part of the college process and may save you time and money. Planning now will assist you in an easy, successful transfer. You are encouraged to submit your transcripts for evaluation and we will provide you with a course credit evaluation and a major evaluation showing you how your transfer credit applies to your chosen major and what courses you need to complete your degree. By completing this process you are well on your way to becoming a Defiance College student.
