Transfer

A transfer applicant is one who (1) has completed a minimum of 24 semester or 36 quarter hours of transferable college classroom credit by the time of application and (2) does not meet the definition of a beginning freshman or a readmission applicant. While 24 semester or 36 quarter hours are the minimum number of hours required, most curricula require additional credit hours and the completion of some specific core first-year courses.

If you are currently enrolled at the University of Illinois at Springfield or the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, you are considered a transfer applicant.

Admission requirements for transfer students vary by UIC college and academic major. For specific information on the requirements for each college, consult the transfer guides.
