Transfer Admission
Admission Requirements. If you are transferring from a community college, or other college or university, you will be considered for admission to CMU provided your official records to demonstrate your ability to successfully complete academic coursework.
A student who is dismissed from another collegiate institution is ineligible for consideration at CMU for at least one semester following dismissal.
When to Apply. Please plan to apply as soon as possible, with preference for at least six months in advance of anticipated enrollment. Students should note that financial aid applicants must apply by February 15 for fall and summer and by October 1 for spring.
How to Apply. Complete an application for admission obtained from your college counseling office, from the Admissions Office at CMU, or online at https://apply.cmich.edu/. Be sure to include the $35.00 application fee.
Have an official transcript from each college you have attended sent directly from each college to the CMU Admissions Office.
If you have earned less than 24 semester hours of academic credit at the time of application, have your high school send a copy of your record to our Admissions Office.
Transfer of Credit. Your courses from other regionally accredited colleges will be considered for transfer credit if they are relevant to a program at Central. We encourage you to review the Transfer Credit Policy found in the Undergraduate Bulletin (see index for page number). At least sixty academic hours of your bachelor degree requirements must be earned at a fully accredited four-year, degree -granting institution like Central Michigan University.
Transfer Credit Evaluation. Admitted transfer students are required to submit official transcripts directly from all previous colleges attended, at least one month in advance of their scheduled orientation. Courses and credits from institutions not declared on the application for admission will not be allowed on a Central Michigan University degree program. Willful failure to list all colleges or universities you have attended or are attending at time of application may result in dismissal from CMU.
Your Transfer Credit Evaluation showing transfer of credit and Central Michigan course numbers and equivalencies will be provided prior to registration at the required orientation and advisement program.
If transcripts are not submitted early, delays in processing Transfer Credit Evaluations may be unavoidable. Students may also access the website (https://admissions.cmich.edu/whatwilltransfer) to review how courses transfer from a Michigan community college.
