Messiah University welcomes University of Valley Forge students with dedicated transfer pathways

Undergraduate and graduate students can access tailored transfer support, financial assistance and a welcoming Christian community.

Messiah University is welcoming University of Valley Forge students seeking a new academic home and a smooth path forward.

As one of UVF’s selected transitional partner schools, Messiah is prepared to help eligible students continue their education with personalized transfer guidance, financial support and opportunities to complete their studies in a vibrant Christian community.

Support for undergraduate students

UVF students in good academic standing are eligible to transfer to Messiah. For currently enrolled, in-person undergraduate students, Messiah will:

• Evaluate completed college credits shown on students’ transcripts.
• Provide a teach-out pathway for a UVF program of study or help students explore Messiah’s more than 80 majors.
• Match UVF net tuition costs for transfer students.
• Offer merit- and need-based financial aid to incoming first-year students.

Undergraduate students should begin by completing the Messiah University application.

Students must also complete the UVF Release of Records Form, selecting both academic records and financial aid information and listing Messiah University as the recipient.

Students who planned to begin at UVF this fall but have not completed UVF coursework must also provide a high school transcript. Those who completed college-level coursework elsewhere should request an official transcript from each institution.

Students should add Messiah University to their 2026–27 FAFSA.

Opportunities for graduate students

Graduate students transferring from UVF can receive support applying eligible credits toward an equivalent Messiah program. UVF graduate students who enroll in a fall 2026 term will also receive a 20% tuition discount.

Graduate students should complete the Messiah graduate application and submit the designated UVF Release of Records Form, selecting academic records and listing Messiah University as the recipient.

Official transcripts are also required for college-level coursework completed outside UVF. Graduate students should add Messiah University to their 2026–27 FAFSA.
