Transfer Students

Welcome!

Coming to SMU provides a wonderful opportunity to expand your horizons. For you it’s a new place with a different culture as well as different policies and procedures.  Your academic adviser and the advising center website are invaluable tools to help you plan your academic career at SMU.  Use this website to begin planning, to begin familiarizing yourself with academic policy, and as a starting place for exploring what SMU has to offer. 

If you are not yet here at SMU keep the following in mind:

• Review the  “Transfer Admissions Criteria” in the university catalog. 

• Apply and submit final transcripts as soon as possible

• Consider taking fundamental courses at your present educational facility: Rhetoric & Math, and possibly a natural science with a lab or Information Technology, with an ethics component

• Call transfer admissions at 214-768-1150 with specific questions.

Once your transcripts are here at SMU, an evaluation of coursework will occur. You will be informed of the equivalency of each course through a Transfer Evaluation report.  You will want to review the Transfer Evaluation carefully with your adviser to confirm the evaluation is accurate.
