Overview
Stetson University accepts applications in the form of our online application, the Common Application, College Link, or the printable mail-in application. No one option is preferred over any other. Applications are accepted year-round, on a rolling basis.
Admitted applicants are adults with at least 40 transferable semester credits, which preferably will include the general education requirements. While many Degree Completion Program applicants have completed an associate's degree, it is not required for admission. Interested applicants with less than 40 transferable semester credits are provided academic advising that will smooth the transition into the program.
Transcripts & Credit Evaluations
All transcripts, academic history, and/or grade reports should be sent to the Office of the Registrar as soon as possible after you have completed the application. They may be sent to:
Office of Admission
Stetson University
421 N. Woodland Blvd., Unit 8379
Deland, FL 32723
Phone: 800-688-0101
When the credit evaluation is completed, we will arrange for a convenient academic advising session.
Please note that since proof of completion of high school was necessary for admission to your initial college/university and will appear on your official transcript from that institution. Therefore, the Degree Completion Program does not require you to resubmit your high school grades and test scores for admission. Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), or College Level Examination Program (CLEP) courses to be considered for college transfer credits will require that original documentation be sent to Stetson University.
