Transfer Information

The Transfer Pathway supports Division I and Division II students in good academic standing; it can also be used by Division III students who may not want to complete their study at Hampshire by fall 2026. The Center for Academic Support and Advising (CASA) will review the standing of advanced Division II students to identify those who may be eligible for an accelerated path to degree completion at Hampshire.

These institutions are in the process of partnering with Hampshire to develop specific credit mapping procedures aimed at enabling the smoothest possible transition for our students. Hampshire’s Center for Academic Support and Advising (CASA) will assist you with selecting an institution and preparing needed documentation to transfer. 

Students may apply to other institutions not on this list. 

Colleges that have agreed to prioritize credits from Hampshire College will work with our students to ensure transfer the maximum credits possible and thereby ensure timely degree completion. 

Throughout the teach-out, staff in CASA and financial aid will support students in their process, and our counseling team is available to provide support and resources throughout the transition period.

Find instructions about requesting your transcripts via Parchment here. Official transcripts must be sent through this platform to other institutions. We always recommend having a copy sent to yourself as well to use as an unofficial transcript. 

You should review your evaluations on TheHub before submitting your request for transcripts. Transcripts are produced with the evaluations we have on file at the time of your request. 

Transcripts and academic records are permanently preserved and will remain available. Through December 31, 2026, these records will be held at Hampshire College; after that, the custodial institution will be the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
