All of us at Keuka College are deeply saddened to see Wells College, with its rich 150+ year history, close its doors. We are committed to making it as easy as possible for Wells students to transfer to Keuka College for Fall 2024. We're honored Wells chose to partner with us to provide students with a seamless teach-out experience.
We've put this guide together to help you understand one of the pathways available to you.
