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 process for freshmen.

1. Guidelines

Carefully review the Transfer Student Requirements to gain an understanding of how to transfer to UND.

2. Application

You can apply up to 1 year in advance of when you plan to start at UND.

Applications are currently being accepted for the spring, summer and fall 2020 semesters.

Complete the UND Undergraduate Admissions Application. If you haven't already created your UND Admissions account, you'll need to create an account to access the online application form.

Pay the $35 (U.S. funds) non-refundable fee.

To automatically be awarded the Transfer Student Scholarship, you must meet the criteria and submit your completed application ASAP for the upcoming fall semester.

UND ONLINE APPLICATION

Application Note: We recommend using Google Chrome when completing the application. 

Aerospace Students: Due to the popularity of the Aviation Management, Commercial Aviation and Unmanned Aircraft Systems programs, UND is unable to accept transfer students in these programs for the Spring and Summer 2020 terms. If you are a transfer student applying for one of these programs, please select Fall 2020. Applying ASAP is strongly encouraged.

3. Transcripts

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

UND Office of Admissions
3501 University Ave Stop 8357
Grand Forks, ND 58202-8357

If you've completed 24 (including in progress) transferable college credits from an institution accredited by a regional or national accrediting organization recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), including the American Council on Education (ACE), you do not need to send your high school transcripts.

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

4. Test Scores

If necessary, request that your official standardized test scores be sent to UND:

If you're 25+ years old on the first day of class OR you've completed 24 (including in progress) transferable college credits after graduating high school, you're not required to submit ACT or SAT test scores. However, if you've taken the ACT or SAT, it's highly recommended that you submit your official scores to UND for proper placement into English and math courses.

Note: If transcripts and test scores are needed, self-report on the application for a quicker admission decision. We can make a preliminary admission offer if you meet our admission guidelines. You’ll be asked to confirm your academic status by providing an official transcript and test scores.
