Transfer Students
Can I Transfer to USF?
If you currently attend or have previously attended another college or university, besides college courses taken in high school, and wish to transfer to the University of Saint Francis, you may do so at any time during your academic career. Transfer students must complete the regular admissions process, as well as having official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended sent directly to the Office of Admissions.
Transfer students must have a cumulative GPA of 2.3 or above on a 4-point scale to be considered eligible for admission to the university. If you do not have a cumulative GPA above 2.3, you may write an admissions essay explaining the following: Why you chose to attend USF, Why you chose your major, and how you will be successful at USF. Once all items are received, an admissions decision will be made.
Which classes will transfer?
Once the candidate has supplied all necessary documents, the Office of Admissions will review his or her record and make a decision about the student’s acceptance to the university. After notification of acceptance, the student will receive a transcript evaluation from the Registrar which shows how transferred credits fit within the student's planned program of study. Credit may be accepted only for course work which applies toward degree requirements and in which a grade of "C" or better is attained.
If you have questions about which of your credits will transfer, you may look at our Guidelines for Transferring Credit for more information.
