Students converseIf you're looking for new educational opportunities, Coe can make the process easy for you—whether you're transferring from a school just down the block or from halfway around the world.

Find out how easy it is to transfer to Coe. You can get answers to your questions by scheduling a visit to campus, either by calling 319-399-8500 or Toll Free 1-877-CALL COE. During your visit we can review a copy of your transcripts and answer questions about course transferability. We can also schedule appointments for a campus tour, as well as set up times with faculty, coaches and financial aid, for starters.

Coe offers a number of academic programs for you to explore new fields or to continue your education. Many of the courses you have already completed may count for credit at Coe—this will be determined by the Registrar upon your acceptance. The unit of credit at Coe is the course credit, with one course credit equal to 4 semester hours. Coursework must have a final grade of 'C' or better (2.0 on a 4.0 scale) and closely correspond to one of our regular catalog courses to be considered for transfer credit.

To apply to Coe, simply submit the following:

  1. A completed application for admission (your $30 application fee is waived by applying online or if completed by December 10). Transfer students under the age of 25 can use the regular application form, available both online and as a download, in a printable format. There is an Adult Application available for those students aged 25 and over.
  2. Official academic transcript from your high school.
  3. Official academic transcripts from every college or university you have attended. Transcripts must be received from all previous schools attended before you are considered for admission.
Transfer student admission notification is on a rolling basis, so you should receive an answer within two weeks of a completed application file. New transfer students may enroll at the beginning of the Fall or Spring terms.

Because Coe is a residential campus, this means you’ll not only learn with your classmates, they'll be your next-door neighbors. Coe has five furnished residence halls and six College-owned apartments, only steps away from your classes.

We offer a number of activities and programs that allow you to get involved on campus and truly experience Coe. Write for the Cosmos (Coe’s weekly newspaper), join a fraternity or sorority, or participate in our numerous intramural sports.

There are a number of scholarship and financial aid opportunities to make your transition to Coe simple.
