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. Meet Transfer Admission Requirements

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 college GPA (2.60 for Aviation Management and Commercial Aviation programs).
• 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 Before Deadline

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

Applications are being accepted for the spring 2026, summer 2026 and fall 2026 semesters.

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