Transfer students
M State is committed to providing support and resources to all students wishing to transfer to or from our college. Our staff will work with students who have previously attended another college or university who want to transfer credits into M State as well as students who plan to transfer to another college or university after attending M State.
Whether you intend to transfer into or out of M State, planning ahead is encouraged to ensure a smooth transfer experience.
Plan ahead
To make your transfer experience as easy as possible:
- Discuss your transfer with an M State academic advisor, including:
- Requirements for your chosen program of study
- University partnership agreements between M State and other colleges or universities
- Procedures and policies for transferring credits and courses, both to and from M State
- Arrange to have all your college transcripts from each institution you have attended mailed directly to M State or to the college or university to which you intend to transfer
- If you have attended or are currently attending one or more Minnesota State institutions, your official transcript from the Minnesota State institution(s) may be electronically retrieved (e-transcripts)
