TRANSFER APPLICANTS
Applicants who have registered for at least 12 credit hours at another college or university, following graduation from high school, are considered transfer students.
The priority date for consideration of transfer applications is March 1 for the fall semester and November 1 for the spring. Applications received after those dates will be considered as space remains available.

Check your status online- Once you've applied for admission check your application status online to see what information we've received and what is still needed.
Additional Information that may be requested:
