Step one: Submit Your Application

The first step is to submit your application above. Belmont Abbey College’s application can be submitted online for free. An essay is not required for initial submission. If you are a current NC High School student, you will be prompted to create a CFNC (College Foundation of North Carolina) account. This is a free account that lets you work on your application over time. If you are not a current NC High School student, you will fill out our free Belmont Abbey Online Application.

Students can transfer to Belmont Abbey College in the Fall or Spring semesters. On our application, you can select your anticipated start term and year, as well as your method of delivery (online or traditional). 

You have two options for applying to The Abbey: All students applying prior to October 30 will be Early Action* candidates, and will find out their admissions decision by mail, and electronically on November 6th. After October 30th, all applications will be accepted on a rolling basis, and students who submit their applications can expect an admissions decision within one week of completing their file.

Step two: Submit Your Transcript

We accept unofficial transcripts as part of the admissions process. Each transcript must include the name of the school, the student’s name, and the most up-to-date grades. If you have earned fewer than 25 college credits, you will also need to submit your high school transcript. Please note that we require transcripts from every institution you have attended.

Unofficial transcripts can be sent via email to admissions@bac.edu or to our address:

Belmont Abbey College
Office of Admissions
100 Belmont-Mt.Holly Road
Belmont, NC 28012

If you are accepted, Belmont Abbey College will need copies of your official transcripts, which can be submitted electronically via services such as Naviance, Parchment, and the National Student Clearinghouse, or sent from your previous institutions to the address above.

If you were enrolled at the time of graduation at a participating public high school in North Carolina, you can request that your high school transcript be sent through CFNC.

* Early Action is a non-binding program that allows you to find out your admissions decision early in the fall of your senior year. Merit scholarships, institutional grants, and state and federal aid offered by Belmont Abbey are available to both Early Action and Rolling Admissions candidates. However, priority consideration for institutional grant money is given to students who complete and file the FAFSA before February 1st. Students who haven’t taken an ACT, SAT, or CLT exam are eligible to apply for Early Action.

Be sure to explore and apply for the scholarships and grants that can make the Abbey an especially affordable option for you. Please note that some scholarships may include additional requirements or be tied to programs designed for a full four-year experience. If you have any questions or would like to discuss scholarship opportunities in more detail, please email admissions@bac.edu.
