Apply as a Transfer Student

From Another College

1. Visit Us. Experience the sights and sounds of campus in person. Choose from multiple visit options.
2. Apply online using the UMN Morris application. For tips on how to make the most of your application, read how we evaluate applications.
3. Have ALL official college and university transcripts sent directly to UMN Morris. Consider doing this early, as it can take several days for a college to issue your transcript. College transcripts are considered official if sent directly from the original institution. If the transcript is issued to you, we must receive it in the original envelope in which it was issued, with notation over the seal to determine if it was opened. Our transfer credit policy has more information on transferable course credit.
4. If you have fewer than 30 transferable credits, have your official high school transcripts (and GED transcripts if applicable) sent directly from the school to UMN Morris. Call 888-866-3382 with any questions.
5. Send any additional information (optional). Feel free to include extra materials like written statements, letters of recommendation, resumes, and portfolios that you feel would help us get to know you better. We encourage written statements if there are any extenuating circumstances we should take into account when reviewing your application.
6. Receive your admission decision in approximately two weeks. This will be sent to the email address you listed on your application.
7. Your transcripts will be evaluated after you’ve been accepted and you’ll receive an email from our transfer coordinator about what transfer credits you received.
8. Save your place! So we don’t give your spot away, return the confirmation card included in your admission packet with a nonrefundable $175 confirmation fee or pay the confirmation fee online with a credit card. Once we receive your confirmation, you will be able to request housing, schedule a registration session, and complete the necessary steps to become a UMN Morris student.

To transfer to UMN Morris, you should meet or exceed the following requirements.

• Cumulative GPA of 2.50* from your transfer institution(s)
• Evidence of college-level coursework
• Good academic, social, and financial standing with all previously attended colleges

*Applicants who are near or below this requirement, or who have semesters below this benchmark, will be considered individually. In this case, please provide a written statement with your application about the circumstances contributing to any academic hardship and explain how you have addressed these issues to ensure your future college success.

If you have not completed 30 college credits after graduating high school at the time you submit your application, your high school record will also be taken into consideration.
