The University at Buffalo reserves the right to determine its own policies for the admission of transfer students from other institutions, as well as the acceptance and placement of credit. Transcript Evaluation GPAs will be computed in accordance with the grading policies in effect at the University at Buffalo. Courses will be transferred with full semester credit value as received from the sending institution. Conversion of trimester, quarterly, and other calendar systems will be completed based on nationally accepted practices. Instructional and laboratory contact hours will determine this conversion.
Provisional admission is offered when courses are currently in progress.
Final admission offers are made when official transcripts of all completed courses have been evaluated. Visiting Student Program Students enrolled at other institutions may apply to study at UB as visiting students for up to one full year without formal transfer. Information about applying and admission criteria may be obtained from the Office of Admissions.
