Whether you are looking to transfer to Jacksonville University from a community college or from another 4-year institution, we want your process of transferring to be as smooth and as possible! You will need to submit your transcripts to the JU Office of Admissions to receive academic credit.

If you would like to transfer into Jacksonville University from a community college or another 4-year institution, we want to make sure the process of integrating into our program is smooth. Credits from your former institution will be evaluated and credited when you apply for admittance. Please contact the Office of Admissions (www.ju.edu/admissions) for more information on the process.

Are you already a pilot?

If the answer is "yes" then you will earn academic credit for any FAA Certificate or Rating you hold prior to starting at JU. After just two flight lab courses, those credits will appear on your transcript. Your training will begin on the next appropriate step!

You can receive academic credit for any previously earned ratings and licenses. We have the specifics concerning the flight courses that will integrate into and your academic accreditation concerning it. Please contact us by phone or email
