Transfer students Don't just fit in at Southern, they help define who we are. With more than 40% of our student body made up of transfer students, you'll join a community that understands your path, values your credits, and is ready to help you finish strong. The Transfer Admissions & Services team can help you navigate advising, adjust academically, and find your place.
At Southern, transferring is not unusual - it is one of the main ways students become Owls. We welcome veterans, two-year students, and students who have taken any college courses after graduating from high school or earning their GED.
Applying is Easy
The transfer application is done entirely online and does not require essays, letters of recommendation, admission appointments, or admission interviews. SCSU does not offer a physical application.
The steps to complete the transfer application are:
Submit the online transfer application form
Submit either the non-refundable $50 application fee or Self-Attested Fee Waiver documentation.
Request Official transcripts from all colleges and universities where you previously attempted or completed any college-level courses.
Request final official high school transcript, noting graduation date. If you previously graduated from a college/university with an Associate's degree or higher and your degree is conferred and listed on your official transcript, the high school transcript requirement will be waived.
To expedite receipt, please send electronic transcripts to admissions@southernct.edu. We are unable to accept student copies. All transcripts must be sent directly from your previous institution (s) to be considered official, including final high school transcripts.
