Transfer Applicants

The following are considered transfer applicants:

• High school graduates that enrolled in college after high school graduation.
• High school graduates currently enrolled in a college or university after graduation even though they do not have any completed credit. (The system will let you apply either as a freshman or transfer student. If you want to apply as a transfer student you will need to list the college and put zero GPA credits. If you have questions about your particular situation contact us).
• Homeschool applicants that completed college credit after they have completed their homeschool requirements.
• Non-high school graduates who are over 18 and have enrolled in college after high school graduation (see parentheses above).

The following are not considered transfer applicants:

• Only completed college credit while in high school (concurrent work/dual enrollment), or who have not enrolled in college after high school graduation. These applicants are considered freshmen.
• Homeschooled applicants who have completed college credits before they completed their homeschool requirements.
• Already completed a bachelor’s degree. BYU does not offer second bachelor’s degrees. Those with bachelor’s degrees may consider a graduate program through Graduate Studies.
• Those who will not be 17 by the time the semester they are seeking has begun.

Admission Application

• Submit your application by the appropriate application deadline.
• Apply for the semester or term you wish to attend. Requests to change beginning semesters may not be accommodated.
• The admission criteria are the same for all entry dates. One semester or term is not easier to get into over another.
• If you are wanting to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, read more information about deferring here.
• You need to submit a college transcript for any concurrent college credit received.
• If you completed a bachelor’s degree, you are not eligible for a second bachelor’s degree from BYU, but are welcome to apply to BYU graduate programs.
• Transfer applicants with 90 or more graded semester credit hours are unlikely to be admitted.
• For transfer guides, transfer evaluations, and transfer contact information, visit Transfer Evaluation.
• If you have completed any International college or university work, see Evaluating International Work for more information. BYU only accepts official US-accredited transcripts without an evaluation.
