Transfer Admission
Admissions process for full-time or part-time, degree-seeking transfer students transferring from another college.
Academic Requirements
Transfer students are degree-seeking students who have enrolled in an accredited college or university after graduating from high school or equivalent. A cumulative transfer GPA of 2.00 or higher for all college coursework that applies towards a USM program is required for admission. Students who do not meet the academic requirements for transfer students will be reviewed for possible admission on an individual basis by the Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs and the Vice President for Admissions and Marketing. Students whose GPA is 2.00 or greater but transfer in less than 12 credits will be evaluated based on their high school transcript.
Admission into the University of Saint Mary does not constitute admission into any particular program (e.g., Nursing) or guarantee athletic eligibility. For more information, contact the Admissions Office.
Application Procedures
To be considered for admission, transfer students must submit the following to the Admissions Office:
- A completed application for admission and a non-refundable application fee of $25.
- Official transcripts from all colleges previously attended (some courses not accepted at one transfer college may be accepted at the University of Saint Mary). Official transcripts should be sent directly from the Registrar’s Office of the college(s) previously attended to the Admissions Office at the University of Saint Mary.
- An official high school transcript is required for course placement and advising purposes for students who have earned fewer than 24 college credits.
