Transfer Admission
Connect with your existing study experience and complete your undergraduate study
Overview
Transfer admission lets applicants enter an undergraduate program at an intermediate year based on existing study experience and school rules. It gives some students with junior college or prior university study a chance to continue toward an undergraduate degree.
Who it suits
Students who have relevant higher-education study experience, wish to continue toward an undergraduate degree and meet the transfer requirements of the target school.
What you study and how long
After entering the target major, continue studying according to the year, recognized credits and course requirements set by the school, and complete what is needed for graduation.
Application preparation
Check whether the school accepts transfer students, which majors are available and the academic and course requirements, organize transcripts and completed-course materials, and prepare for the language, subject exam or interview as required.
Where it leads
After completing the undergraduate courses and graduation requirements set by the school, you may plan a graduate school application or career development.
The entry year, recognized credits and eligibility are reviewed by the school and cannot be assumed to be the third year. Transfer admission does not necessarily start at the third year; the remaining study plan is decided by the school.
