Veterans Admissions
Who qualifies as a transfer student?
Individuals may apply as a transfer student if they have earned a high school diploma or GED and will have earned 17 or more college credits in a traditional fall or spring term at the time of enrollment. Applicants must be in good standing at their previous institution. Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, AICE, CLEP, dual enrollment and military credit (JST) do not count toward the 17 earned credit requirement, but will be considered for potential transfer credit upon admission to the University.
Individuals that do not meet the definition of a transfer student should apply as a freshman.
In addition to the general admission requirements listed in the links above, veterans and service members must also submit all military transcripts, to include Joint Service Transcripts (JST), Air University/CCAF and DD214 (Member-4). In order to be considered official, transcripts must be sent directly from the issuing institution. Applicants may submit the DD 214 form to admissions@ut.edu.
