Yes, and the program you’ll attend will be different depending on whether you transfer at the start of the fall or spring semester. In the spring, our orientation program for transfer students is called New Student Express, and is a half-day orientation program. If you are under the age of 21 and begin classes in the fall semester, you will attend our Advance and QuestWeek, our traditional orientation program intended to maximize your transition to Lipscomb. Learn more about orientation and registering on our accepted students page.
We believe that students have a fuller Lipscomb experience by living on campus. All freshmen, sophomores or juniors are required to live on campus, unless you are living at with a parent or guardian in the Nashville area or are married and living with a spouse. Transfer students are not an exception to this expectation. You may become eligible to live off campus once you have earned 90 credit hours or have turned 21 years old.
We are on a rolling admissions system. However, we suggest that you apply as early as possible prior to the semester that you are planning to transfer.
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.

First thing’s first: congratulations! If you have been admitted, the next steps include completing your FAFSA, paying your enrollment fee, setting up your Lipscomb email account, and registering for classes. For details about how to do any of these things, check out our accepted students page.
