Transfer Student Admission

Academic Eligibility

Undergraduate degree applicants who have graduated from high school or have earned a GED and have attempted twelve or more college level credits must meet the academic eligibility requirements described here.  Any undergraduate degree transfer applicant who has attempted fewer than twelve college level credits must meet the academic eligibility requirements for freshman mentioned in the freshman admission section.

Applicants must present a 2.00 (C) cumulative grade average (on a 0-4 scale) for all college level work attempted to be eligible for admission.

How to Apply

Applications for admission are available from Enrollment Services-Admissions by request or are available on the University website at http://admissions.umt.edu/apply.

Receipt of the following credentials in Enrollment Services-Admissions constitutes a complete application for admission:

  1. Application Form. Applications must be complete and signed.
  2. Application Fee.  The fee is $30.00 or $36 when applying on-line. This non-refundable fee is payable once at the undergraduate level provided payment is followed by enrollment. Record of payment will remain on file for one year for students who do not enroll. An application cannot be considered prior to payment of this fee. The University of Montana-Missoula waives the application fee for students who have attended an affiliate campus: Montana Tech, Montana Tech College of Technology, Helena College of Technology, and University of Montana Western.
  3. Official College/University Transcripts. The student must supply a complete official transcript from each regionally accredited college or university attended, and from each college or university attended holding candidate status for regional accreditation. Applications from students who are enrolled at the transfer school while applying to UM will be considered for admission based on current official transcripts showing all academic work completed and posted to date. The final official transcript must be on file before the second registration at UM. Academic eligibility will be reviewed upon receipt of the complete transcript.
  4. Immunization Form.  All students are required to submit a completed Pre-Registration Immunization Form to the Curry Health Center two weeks prior to registration. It is important that the immunization record be complete and accurate and validated by a health official.  Students born after December 31, 1956 must submit proof of immunization or titer against Rubella and measles (Rubeola).  Students will not be allowed to register until the Curry Health Center has received proof of immunization.
