Transfer your credits and take your education further.
For admission as a transfer student:
- A completed Mercer Evening and Weekend Undergraduate Application for Admission - apply online or print an application.
- A $25 non-refundable application fee—check or money order made payable to Mercer University.
- Official transcripts* from all regionally accredited colleges/universities/technical schools attended. If you’ve earned less than 30 semester hours of college credit, you should also submit an official high school or GED transcript.
*Official documents must be received in a sealed envelope directly from the institution or testing agency.
All documents may be delivered to your selected campus (Macon, Atlanta, Henry County, Eastman, or Douglas County), or mailed directly:

How to evaluate your credits:
Once you’re accepted, your transcripts will be evaluated. We’ll do a course-by-course review to determine which credits will transfer. There are a couple of rules that we follow to award transfer credit:
- The course must have been taken at a regionally accredited institution.
- The course must be college level. Learning support classes are not considered.
- You must have earned a grade of “C” or better in the course.
- The course must be comparable to something Mercer University offers.
We’ll mail you a copy of the results and also notify your academic advisor.
Note: no more than 64 semester hours are transferable from regionally accredited two-year institutions and 96 semester hours total from all regionally accredited institutions.
