Welcome, Anna Maria Students

Supporting Your Transition to Regis

• Admission and Financial Aid Information

  Regis College will have a team in Undergraduate Admission and Financial Aid dedicated to supporting the transfer process for Anna Maria students. Except for the Young School of Nursing, students in academic programs currently offered at Regis will be guaranteed admission provided they are in academic and disciplinary good standing. Nursing students will be counseled on an individual basis. Students in a major at Anna Maria not offered at Regis will be offered academic counseling to determine if there is a comparable program to serve their academic and career aspirations. Regis will guarantee the maximum transferable credits possible to ensure students graduate on time.
