Apply as a Transfer Student

If you've earned college credits after graduating from high school, you're considered a transfer student and should follow the process below to apply to UND.

If you have not attended college after high school graduation, please follow the freshmen application process.

1. Review Transfer Admission Criteria

Specific admission requirements for transfer students are based upon the total number of transferable college credits at the time of your application.

If you've completed 24 transferable college credits (including in progress), you must meet the following criteria to be admitted to UND:

  • Minimum of a 2.0 cumulative GPA
  • Be in good standing at the college(s) you previously attended

If you've completed fewer than 24 transferable college credits (including in progress), you must meet the criteria above in addition to the criteria for freshmen.

Carefully review the Transfer Credits page to gain an understanding of how credits transfer to UND.

2. Complete Application

You can apply up to one year in advance of when you plan to start at UND.

Applications are being accepted for the summer 2023, fall 2023 and spring 2024 semesters.

Create an Admissions Account

Before starting your application, you need to set up a UND Admissions Account.

You'll log in to your Admissions Account to:

3. Send Transcripts

Request your official college and high school transcripts to be sent directly from all previously attended schools (including any study abroad coursework) to UND.

Transcripts can be sent electronically through a secured electronic transcript service or by mail in a sealed envelope to:

Coursework taken outside the U.S. may require additional evaluation by World Education Services (WES ICAP).
