Transfer Admission Process
An application for admission as a transfer student will be considered complete and
ready for review when the Office of Admissions has received the following:
- the completed application for admission
- official transcripts from each college or university attended
- the $25 application processing fee
A complete application will be evaluated for admission. Students offered admission will be provided with a comprehensive transfer articulation review.
*Note: Due to the high volume of requests, we are unable to offer a comprehensive transfer articulation review prior to an admission decision. You may use the Transfer Course Equivalency Table to get an unofficial review of how your courses may transfer.

Request that official copies (sealed, unopened version) of your high school and college
transcripts be sent directly to:
