- Transfer applicants must submit a college transcript in addition to a high school transcript, and email a copy of course descriptions for courses you’ve taken from each college/university you attended to admission@andrew.cmu.edu with the subject line, “Transfer Course Descriptions.” Please don’t send an entire college course catalogue.
- A recommendation from a professor or advisor should be submitted in place of a college counsellor recommendation. The College Report (a Common Application form) is also required from your current academic institution. This form should be completed by your college/university registrar or appropriate dean/college official who can verify your enrollment and academic standing.
- We require official SAT or ACT Tests and SAT Subject Test results if you’ve previously taken these tests. If you haven’t previously taken these tests, it’s recommended, but not required that you take them as you apply as a transfer student. If English isn’t your native language, the results of either the TOEFL or IELTS are required, even if you didn’t take either one previously, and please note our TOEFL/IELTS score requirements.
- Fine arts transfer applicants should visit the Fine Arts Admission website for further details about portfolio review or audition requirements.
- If offered admission, the college/school you’re admitted to will evaluate your courses for potential transfer credit.
- If you’re offered admission for the spring semester, we don’t require a tuition deposit due to the short time between being offered admission and the start of the spring semester.
- University housing is not guaranteed for transfer students.
