<p>If you have not completed 24 credits, you may not be eligible to apply as a transfer student to Columbia</p>

</p>

<p>To be eligible to enroll as a transfer student at Columbia, you must have completed, or be registered for, 24 points of credit (the equivalent of one year of full-time study) at another institution. Candidates with more than four semesters of college coursework elsewhere are not encouraged to apply. Columbia’s academic requirements and institutional policies make completion of all graduation requirements in a reasonable and timely fashion unlikely. </p>

<p>Since you are a non-traditional student, it may be a challenge gaining admittance to Columbia College as they may consider to to be a student for General Studies. </p>

<p>Potential applicants to Columbia College who have taken a break of more than a full year in their educations after high school (with the exception of those who must complete national military service) or those who wish to attend part time for personal or professional reasons should consider instead Columbia University School of General Studies.</p>
