Transfer students can apply as early as one year before they wish to transfer.
However, at least 30 semester credits should be completed before applying, with enrollment in at least 12 additional credits. The Office of Admissions will determine whether a student is eligible for the direct transfer admission process and send eligible students a College of Education supplemental application. Since a limited number of transfer spaces are available, it is advantageous to apply early. While not directly considered as part of the application, students must write about their experience with learners or teaching.
