Yes, we offer orientation for students transferring both the fall and spring semesters. If you are under the age of 21 and begin classes in the fall semester, you will attend New Student Orientation and QuestWeek, our traditional orientation program intended to maximize your transition to Lipscomb. Learn more about orientation and registration on our admitted students page.

We believe that students have a fuller Lipscomb experience by living on campus; however, as a transfer student, we recognize that you may already have established housing or connections in the Nashville area. You can elect to live off campus at any time.

If you are applying with less than 60 transferring credit hours, then we ask that you submit both your high school transcripts and standardized test scores. 

Send all transcripts to:

Through the Tennessee Transfer Pathways program, students at community colleges in Tennessee can choose from a number of participating A.A. or A.S. degrees and take the specific courses listed for that program. After completing your associate degree, you can transfer to Lipscomb, and all credits will transfer into the corresponding four-year program at the university.

If you are from a community college outside of Tennessee, no problem! We will accept up to 63 credit hours from regionally accredited institutions with a grade of C or higher. Check out the Lipscomb Degree Plans to chart your course!
