Admission is to a particular college or program, each of which has its own admissions 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 system campuses of Crookston, Duluth, or Morris, you must complete a Change of College application. Visit One Stop for detailed information.
If you are returning to a degree program from an absence of one year or longer, you must complete an Application for Readmission.
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.
Transfer applicants are considered for admission based on an individual review of their applications by the college to which they are applying. In general, transfer applicants must have completed (or be completing) at least 26 semester credits at the time of application. It is rare for students enrolled in their first term of college to be admitted for the Spring semester.
Individual colleges and programs review each application using the academic and context review factors listed below, in addition to the program-specific criteria described in the next section. These criteria include the specific prerequisite course and credit requirements for the individual college or program. To learn more about the students admitted for fall 2019, see the academic profile of fall 2019 admitted transfer students.
