However you arrive, AIC deeply values how your perspective and drive enrich our campus culture. We, in turn, ensure a clear, streamlined admissions process supported by personalized guidance from our counselors.

AIC’s Transfer Admission Planner and Requirements

Each student’s goals, background, and dreams make up the overarching AIC story. Use your application to tell us yours.

Start Your Application

Send Transcripts

Provide an unofficial copy of your high school diploma or GED and official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended. Please send transcripts to:

American International College
Office of Undergraduate Admissions
1000 State Street
Springfield, MA 01109

If you were home-schooled or don’t have a traditional high school transcript, please contact an admissions counselor at admissions@aic.edu or 413-205-3201 for help.

Optional Documents

Give us more insight into who you are—and your readiness for this stage of your journey—with one or more letters of recommendation and/or a personal statement.

Note: If you’re applying to health sciences, we strongly encourage a letter of recommendation, especially one that speaks to your ability in the healthcare field.

Wait for a Decision

Non-health sciences students will receive an admissions decision within two weeks of submitting their application. Students applying to a health sciences program should expect to hear within three to 11 weeks, based on the time of year.

Credit Evaluation

AIC conducts a credit evaluation upon a student’s acceptance. We assess all transcripts, AP/IB and Clep Scores, and military experience; we’ll send your results within two weeks.

Transfer Scholarships

We began by breaking down boundaries that prevented immigrants from accessing higher education. Continuing that mission, scholarships offered to all accepted Yellow Jackets reduce the cost of a credential that’s increasingly vital for securing your future. Transfer students are eligible for renewable awards ranging from $13,000-$19,000, including joint admissions, merit-, and need-based scholarships.
