TRANSFER ADMISSIONS OVERVIEW
Transfer students are admitted to a particular college or program, each of which has its own admissions requirements. In general, transfer applicants must complete (or be completing) at least 26 semester credits at the time of application.
Note:
• 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, Morris, or Rochester, you must complete a Change of College form.
• If you are returning to a degree program on the Twin Cities campus from an absence of one year or longer, you must complete an Application for Readmission.
Both forms are available online at onestop.umn.edu/forms/index.html.
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 individual, overall assessment of their application.
Individual colleges and programs review each application using primary and secondary review factors that can be found on the admissions website at z.umn.edu/TransferReview. In addition, these colleges and programs utilize certain criteria that are unique to their programs. To review specific admissions requirements.

1 GPA is calculated on a 4.0 scale. Average GPA is calculated based on grades earned in postsecondary coursework eligible for transfer towards a degree program at the U of M Twin Cities. Student count totals include only those students with postsecondary transfer coursework (on the same A-F grading scale as the U of M) on file as of publication date.
2 CSE lists average cumulative GPA here; however, admission is also based on grades in selected engineering, science, and math courses. Please see the College of Science and Engineering’s transfer admissions page at https://cse.umn.edu/r/future-transfer-students/ for more information.
