What are the admission requirements for transfer students at Arizona State University? I'm thinking about transferring and want to ensure I'm meeting everything they're looking for in an applicant.
Arizona State University (ASU) has a variety of transfer admission requirements across its programs, but here are some general guidelines to consider:
1. ASU requires a minimum cumulative transfer GPA of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale. It's good to note that some programs require higher GPA for consideration.
2. Students must be in good academic standing at the last institution attended, meaning you shouldn't be on any sort of probation or suspension.
3. ASU provides a Transfer Credit Guide that allows prospective transfer students to see how courses taken at other universities will transfer to ASU, helping students optimize their planning.
4. ASU also has a Transfer Pathway program, where they have partnered with Arizona community colleges for students to maximize their college credits towards a specific degree plan. Following these pathways can ensure smooth admission and credit transfer process.
5. If you've earned an associate degree from an accredited university, you may be directly admitted to ASU. However, if you're applying as a lower-division transfer student (less than 60 hours of transferable course work), you may need to meet additional requirements, which can include selective admission criteria, depending on your major.
6. Submission of an Online Undergraduate Admission Application along with a $50 application fee for Arizona residents and $80 fee for nonresidents.
Keep in mind requirements may slightly vary depending upon your specific circumstances, the college to which you’re applying within ASU, and the major you’re pursuing. Visit ASU's transfer student page or contact an ASU transfer admission specialist for more detailed information. It's always a good idea to confirm these requirements yourself, as admissions processes can change over time. Good luck with your transfer journey!
