Transfer Applicants
Admission
Although transferring to a new school can be confusing and frustrating, new students transitioning to APU can enjoy a seamless process through the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
APU does not require a specific set of college courses or a minimum amount of units completed prior to applying; however, it is in the best interest of the transfer applicant to follow the General Studies Guidelines of suggested courses while enrolled at another institution.
Academic capabilities, as well as involvement in church, school, and community activities, are considered in assessing the applicant's potential for success at the university. The application process is designed as a tool for making these assessments.
Admission Requirements
The following admission requirements apply to students who have graduated from high school and earned more than 28 units of college credit. Transfer students with less than 28 units earned at the time of applying will need to submit additional information. See freshman requirements.
