Transfer admission
The University of Minnesota Office
of Admissions handles all applications for undergraduate admission
to IT.
You're considered a freshman applicant if you have not earned college
credit after high school graduation; all other individuals are classified
as transfer applicants.
High school graduates who have completed less than a full year
of college course work at the time of application will be considered
for admission using a combination of transfer and freshman
admissions criteria. Transfer students who have completed a
year or more of college work are considered for admission with advanced
standing.
Transfer admission requirements
All transfer applicants must have successfully completed the University's high
school preparation requirements.
Students planning to transfer to IT should be pursuing a lower
division engineering, science, or math program. By the time you
apply for admission, you should have completed most of the mathematics,
chemistry, physics, and computer science courses required for your
preferred major.
Admission decisions are based on the overall GPA using grades in science
and mathematics. Because demand for some IT programs exceeds available spaces,
applicants are asked to indicate three majors in order of preference.
Transfer GPA guidelines
Many courses transfer routinely. Equivalency for technical courses has been
established between IT and many colleges and universities. Technical courses
in which a D has been earned do not transfer to meet IT degree requirements.
Transfer plans for individual colleges are also available. To view course
equivalency guides or transfer plans from your college or university, see
the following web site: www.it.umn.edu/admissions/transfer/credit.html
Transferring credit
Intra-University transfers and readmission
Students enrolled at the U's Twin Cities or coordinate campuses
who wish to transfer to IT must apply for an intra-University
transfer.
University students who have not been granted a formal leave of
absence or who haven't registered for two consecutive semesters
(excluding summer session) must complete the Application
for Readmission.
