How to Apply: Transfers with 30+ Hours

When to Apply

We will begin to accept and process applications for the Fall semester in mid-August. It is important to keep in mind that the application process takes up to several weeks for processing and an admission decision to be made. If you secure admission early, you can move forward with plans for New Student Orientation and Financial Aid.

As soon as you have completed thirty transferable hours and/or met the GPA criteria, you should apply for transfer admission. Any course work above thirty hours can be submitted for credit once you are already admitted.

Transfer Procedures

To be considered for transfer admission, students must complete the following steps and submit appropriate documents listed below.

Once your application file has been completed, please allow the Office of Undergraduate Admissions 2-3 weeks to process your application and evaluate your previous college transcripts. Upon completion of this process, a decision letter and transcript evaluation will be sent to you in the mail.

You are also encouraged to check your application status online throughout the process.

Students pursuing a major in the McCoy College of Business should be aware that the application deadlines for this major are much earlier than the standard application deadlines.

Step 1

ApplyTexas Application
