Students can submit either the Common Application or the Saint Anselm Application in order to be considered for admission. Additionally, you will be asked to answer a few Saint Anselm College member questions.
A $50 fee is required with each application. Saint Anselm College will waive the $50 application fee for the following students:

All other applicants can contact their school counselor to see if they are eligible for an application fee waiver.
College transcripts need to be submitted from every school you have attended. All transcripts should be in English. Please have transcripts emailed to admission@anselm.edu.

Your transcript should include grades 9-11 (or equivalent). Please have your school counselor email your transcripts to admission@anselm.edu or submit them through the Common Application.
The transfer college report is required so that we can learn more about where you are coming from. To be considered official, the report must be completed by a college official. We require that a report is submitted from your current or most recent institution. Download the transfer college report below.
The mid-term report allows us to evaluate your most recent college courses. The form should be completed by your college instructors for the courses in which you are currently enrolled. We are looking for your current grade in the course, not your mid-term exam grade. Download the mid-term report below.
In order to award college credit, you will need to submit course descriptions for all of your college courses that you have previously completed or are currently taking. Course descriptions can be found in college catalogues from all your previous institutions. Please feel free to email descriptions to the Office of Admission.

Credit Evaluation Process
Transfer credit is awarded for a course at a previous college/university if the student has earned a grade of C or higher, and there is an equivalent course offered at Saint Anselm College. Up to 64 credits can be accepted in the transfer process. A student must complete half of the courses required for their major while at Saint Anselm College. Saint Anselm College maintains a transfer equivalency database so that students may check to see if a course they have taken at their current or previous institution has been evaluated for transfer credit. This database does not reflect all courses that may transfer, just courses that have previously been evaluated.
Preliminary credit evaluations are completed for all transfer students admitted to Saint Anselm College. A copy of the credit evaluation will be sent with an offer of admission or shortly thereafter. An official credit evaluation is completed once a student enrolls at Saint Anselm College. In order for the Office of the Registrar to complete an official credit evaluation, all final transcripts must be submitted.
For questions about credit evaluations, please contact the Office of the Registrar.
