Transfer Application Deadlines

A completed application and all required supplemental documents (e.g., official transcripts, official test scores, and portfolio) must be submitted before your application deadline.

The application deadline is a received-by date, not a postmarked date, so please give yourself ample time to submit your documents prior to the deadline.

The application deadlines for transfer applicants vary depending on the term in which you wish to enroll. Refer to our undergraduate majors for program-specific limitations and entry terms.

Any full-time student who wishes to live on campus must pay a tuition and housing deposit. Please note that housing for transfer students is not guaranteed. Learn more about on-campus housing options for transfer students. We also encourage transfer students to consider affiliated-housing options offered by American Campus Communities (ACC).

International Applicants: International application deadlines are for applicants who do not currently live in the United States. Applicants residing in the United States may follow the general application deadlines.
