Transfer Information
To apply as a transfer student, 12 quarter or semester credits must have been completed with a “C” average or better at a regionally accredited college-level institution. Students who have earned less than 12 quarter credits should apply as a first year student. Students who have earned college credits only through post-secondary education option should apply using a first year student application. Applicants must submit:
- A completed college application form (PDF). Questions concerning availability of program openings should be directed to the Admissions Office at 320-308-5089.
- A $20 non-refundable application fee attached to the application form. Students placed on a waiting list but not accepted into a program shall receive a full refund of their application fee.
- An official academic transcript from each previously attended college or university sent directly to the Office of Records and Registration. Transcripts are official only when sent directly from the sending institution to the Office of Records and Registration. Transcripts mailed or brought by the student cannot be used for transfer.
