Students who have completed at least 30 semester credits from a regionally-accredited college or university after high school should apply as transfer students. Test credits (AP, IB, CLEP, Language, etc.) do not apply toward the 30 semester credit requirement. Concurrent enrollment will also not be included in the 30 semester credit requirement unless the student has attended another college or university for at least one semester after high school graduation.
If you have earned fewer than 30 semester credits after high school, you will also need to submit materials required by Freshman applicants, including high school transcripts and ACT or SAT test scores
Making false or misleading statements on the application or failing to list all institutions attended may result in cancellation of admission status and/or loss of credit.
The University follows a rolling admission system, so applications will be processed as they are received. Your application will not be processed until we have received all documents and fees. Admission decisions will mailed to students soon after they have been processed.
Admission requirements, deadlines and fees are subject to change without prior notice.
All documents submitted to the University of Utah become its property and will not be released to students or other institutions. Admission applications and transcripts are destroyed after one year for students who do not attend.
Applicants will be considered for admission after meeting these requirements:
Additional Guidelines
Many undergraduate majors have admission requirements more stringent than those required for entry to the University. Transfer students should consider those requirements as they plan their junior college curriculum. Doing so will enable them to make the most efficient progress toward their degree once they enter the University. Transfer students should be aware that preparatory course work for majors that require several pre-qualifying steps (such as pre-major and intermediate status) may take longer than two years to complete.
To minimize the possibility of taking college courses that do not count toward major requirements (or admission into a major), students should contact the department of their desired University of Utah major prior to enrolling in a junior college, or at least during their first year of junior college. Students attending other Utah state colleges who wish to transfer to the University of Utah should contact their college advising office to consult the Transfer Guide for Lower-Division Courses, published by the Utah State Board of Regents. This book lists courses that can be transferred to the University of Utah and the specific courses to which they are comparable. Students can also reference our Getting Ready Guides.
All new freshmen admitted to the University will be enrolled in the University College until they are accepted into a specific degree-granting department, program, or college of the University. Learn more!
After you are admitted you will need to apply for scholarships, financial aid, housing and register for orientation. Learn all the steps to become a student at 'Your Roadmap to the U'!
The University confidentially maintains all application information, including your Social Security Number, which is used routinely to facilitate document matching, verify your identity, and expedite your enrollment and financial aid. Disclosure of your Social Security Number is voluntary, but failure to provide your Social Security Number may result in delay and confusion regarding your identity, and once admitted, could result in delay or loss of federal and state financial aid, tax credits, student loan deferments, veteran benefits, and other benefits under law.
