TRANSFER GUIDE INCLUDING BLUEFIELD COLLEGE EQUIVALENTS FOR VIRGINIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM COURSES Office of Academic Affairs Bluefield College 3000 College Avenue Bluefield, VA 24605 (276) 326-4550 Updated 09/08/2015 INTRODUCTION Bluefield College welcomes transfer students from community and junior colleges as well as from four-year institutions. We strive to accept students for admission who will benefit from a personalized Christian liberal arts education. All applications are treated on a rolling basis, and every attempt is made to notify the applicant of his or her acceptance status as soon as the application process is complete. No single criterion will be decisive, but each item will be considered in relation to the applicant’s total qualifications. All selections are made without reference to race, religion, color, creed, sex or national origin. Students are encouraged to schedule an appointment with an admissions representative for a tour of the campus. To assist students who are considering a transfer to Bluefield College, we summarize in this booklet the college’s policies concerning the transfer applicant. This booklet includes Bluefield College equivalents for Virginia Community College System courses. Students considering transfer from other institutions should contact the Office of Enrollment Management at 1-800-872-0175 or 276-326-4231.
