Transfer Student Application Process

TRANSFERRING TO UM?

We've got you covered.

At UM, you don’t have to stress about transferring — trust us. There’s just a few things to know about applying as a transfer student to the University of Montana or Missoula College.

Let’s start simple: What kind of applicant are you?

Have you completed more than 12 college-level credits since high school graduation? Congrats — you’re in the right place! You’ll apply for transfer admission. (Fewer than 12 credits? No worries — just check out the application process for freshman admission.)

Step one: Start your application.

You can apply online or using the Common Application.

Step two: Submit official transcripts

Once you’ve completed your final term at your current or previous institution, have your previous school send a complete official transcript to UM. An admission evaluator will provide you with an official transfer credit evaluation once you’ve submitted all official transcripts. (And if you want to DIY a preview, check out our Transfer Equivalency Self-Service Tool!)
