Transfer Admission Requirements
Admission is to a particular college or program, each of which has its own admissions requirements. All applicants, however, need to have successfully completed our high school preparation requirements.
If you are transferring from one degree program to another on the Twin Cities campus, or if you are transferring from the University of Minnesota coordinate campuses of Crookston, Duluth, or Morris, you must complete a Change of College form.
If you are returning to a degree program from an absence of one year or longer, you must complete an Application for Readmission.
University of Minnesota transfer admission criteria
Applicants may be admitted if they meet the entrance requirements of the college or program to which they have applied, and of the major they wish to enter.
All students are considered for admission based on an individual review of their application by the college to which they are applying. Individual college and programs review each application using the primary and secondary review factors listed below, in addition to the criteria described in the next section that is specific to the program students are applying to. These criteria include the specific prerequisite course and credit requirements for the individual college or program. Please review also the academic profile of the fall 2008 admitted transfer students.
Primary review factors
For transfer applicants with fewer than 26 college credits complete, the following factors are also reviewed:
- Grade point average - cumulative, and in specific courses related to the student's intended major.
- An especially challenging pattern of coursework, especially in courses related to the student's intended major.
- Successful completion of the high school course requirements (see below).
- High school rank percentile (students from non-ranking schools and those with GED or other high school equivalency are given full consideration).
- ACT or SAT scores.
- Rigor of the high school curriculum.
Secondary review factors
- Evidence of exceptional achievement, aptitude, or personal accomplishment not reflected in the academic record.
- A pattern of steady improvement in academic performance.
- Participation in extracurricular programs related to your intended major.
- Non-academic experience in a field related to your intended major.
- Evidence of exceptional talent or ability in artistic, scholarly, leadership, or athletic performance.
- Evidence that enrollment would enhance the cultural, gender, age, economic, racial, or geographic diversity of the student body.
- Outstanding high school, college, or community involvement.
- Work experience, paid or unpaid.
- Evidence of having overcome social, economic, or physical barriers to educational achievement.
- Extenuating circumstances.
Additional conditions for admission
In addition to meeting specific college admission requirements, transfer students must be eligible to return to their previous colleges or universities. If you believe there were special circumstances that led to your previous ineligibility, please provide an explanation on a separate sheet to accompany your application.
The University of Minnesota reserves the right to deny admission to an otherwise admissible applicant if the University determines that the applicant's enrollment would not be in the applicant's and/or the University's best interest.

CEHD Admission requirements
Each CEHD major has specific requirements for admission into the upper division. Students who have met all of the requirements for the upper division can be admitted directly to their major. The college offers students who have not completed all of the prerequisites, but are on track for admission to the upper division, the opportunity to enter a lower-division preparatory program where they can continue to prepare for admission to the major. As part of the support for preparatory students, students will work with one of our advisers to assist with preparation.Admission into a lower-division preparatory program does not guarantee admission into a major. It is necessary to remain competitive for the intended major and, once preparation is completed and you and your adviser agree that you are ready, you will need to apply to enter the major.
Earning your teaching license: Teaching licensure programs are offered at the undergraduate level for the following programs: Technology Education; two emphasis areas of Agricultural Education; and eight career and technical education fields in Career and Technical Education. See the CLA section of this guide for admission to the Music Education program. If you are interested in teaching licensure in any area other than those listed above, you must earn your licensure after completing a bachelor's degree in your area of teaching interest (e.g. science, math, Spanish.) Undergraduates can get on an accelerated path to a teaching career through the DirecTrack to Teaching program. This program offers early admission to the college's initial licensure programs and provides exposure to the culture of teaching and schools.
