Two Year Plan

Transfer students are unique as their time to graduate is shortened as they have completed degree requirements prior to attending ASU. Transfer students may still take advantage of important experiential learning opportunities such as research and internships and meet the timeline for applying for graduate school and professional positions if they plan their path carefully.

The transfer credit process may take several weeks to complete once the student has completed their admission application.

It is the student’s responsibility to verify that all college transcripts are sent to ASU admissions.  Students should contact the registrar at the institutions they attended and request that their official, final transcripts showing all final grades are sent to ASU Admissions.
