• You are considered a transfer student if you currently attend or have previously attended any college, university, nursing school, or other post-secondary institution after graduating from high school regardless of the number of credits attempted, earned or the transferability of those credits.
• Transfer applicants should have completed at least 24 transferable credits prior to enrollment at ESU, and must have a minimum 2.0 re-calculated QPA to be considered for admission.

Transfer Admission Policy

• Transfer applicants who have completed 24 or more transferrable semester hour credits prior to enrollment and have a minimum 2.0 re-calculated Quality Point Average [QPA] will be admitted to the University. Certain Special Admission Programs have higher QPA requirements.
• Applicants with fewer than 24 transferable credits are considered lower division transfer students and may be considered on a space-available basis; the high school record and SAT/ACT scores will be reviewed to evaluate admission of lower division transfer students.
• First semester freshmen at other institutions are not encouraged to apply.
