International Transfer Students

Step 1: Decide which application method is right for you, then complete and submit your application.

 

Step 2: Review and complete the application checklist.

  • Complete your application on time – check the application deadlines
  • Submit official college transcripts from all previously attended colleges or universities
    • Applicants who have completed international coursework must also submit a professional evaluation that shows the U.S. equivalence for each educational credential and the credit and grade equivalents for university-level courses. This is often called a Course-by-Course evaluation.
  • Submit an official high school transcript that includes a graduation date. If the transcript is not in English, it will need to be translated.
  • Submit Official TOEFL, IELTS or Duolingo English Test (DET) results
  • InitialView interview (highly encouraged if English is not the applicant’s first language, but not required)
  • Submit official SAT or ACT scores (optional)

 

Step 3: Submit your application materials.

Please submit your application online. Supporting documents can be sent via email to transfer@smu.edu. We recommend that transcripts be sent electronically to SMU. If your school does not send electronic transcripts, they can be mailed to the following address:
