We are thrilled that you are considering Denison as a transfer applicant, and we look forward to reading your application!

We Make It Easy!

Our admission policies reflect our commitment to providing equal access to a phenomenal Denison education:

Test-optional Admission

Denison applicants have not been required to submit ACT or SAT scores since 2008. If you choose to be a test-optional admission candidate, simply select that option on your application, and we will focus on all the other things that make you great.

No Fee to Apply for Admission

Proof that the phrase “Nothing good in life is free” is pure fallacy. Put that money toward your phone bill or something much more fun than app fees.

No Supplemental Essay Required

That’s us helping you find time to rewatch a few episodes of The Office for the 100th time—or is that just us?

Apply!

If you are currently or previously enrolled at an accredited post-secondary institution, you must apply to Denison as a transfer applicant, and if you are admitted you will receive a Transfer Credit Evaluation detailing how your previous credits will transfer to Denison. Transfer students interested in Denison must submit the Transfer Common Application.
