Application and Admission Information for Transfer Students

Students who have attempted any college-level course after graduating from high school are considered transfer applicants. (Note: College Credit Plus and high school dual enrollment students are not considered transfer applicants and should complete the undergraduate application.)

Application Process

To begin the transfer application process, simply complete the following steps:

1. Apply to UD for free. You may submit the Common Application or UD's application.

2. Request and submit official transcripts from all colleges you've attended — even if it wasn't recently.

  • Transcripts should be mailed or sent electronically from the institution to the Office of Recruitment and Admission. Home institutions should direct electronic documents to transcripts@udayton.edu or mail them to the below address. Hand-carried transcripts, official copies marked "Issued to Student," and unofficial copies are not acceptable.
  • Note: If you are in your first semester of college and do not yet have a college transcript, please contact our office.

3. Request and submit your official high school transcript.

4. Request and submit additional documents as required.*

  • Personal statement
  • Joint Services Transcript (JST) if you have served or are serving in the U.S. armed forces
  • Official AP, CLEP and IB score reports if you have taken any of the exams

*International students who want to transfer to UD should view additional admission requirements.

Transfer student application materials should be mailed to:

Office of Recruitment and Admission
University of Dayton

Be sure to monitor the application checklist in your Admission Account and submit any items marked as incomplete.
