Transferring to any College or University can be difficult, but we aim to make it easy! Before you can apply as a transfer student, you must have completed at least 12 semester credit hours of college-level coursework. Remedial college courses and advance/dual college credit (credit earned as part of high school coursework or test scores such as AP and IB) does not count toward this minimum. Depending on your major, there are different deadlines for each semester. For a complete list of resources and deadlines, please visit: purdue.ws/transfer
