Frequently asked questions about transferring to ASU
What does it mean to be a transfer student?
A transfer student is anyone who has attended another college or university and has completed 12 or more transferable credits post-high school at the time of applying to Arizona State University. If you are completing college courses while in high school, you are considered a first-year student and not a transfer student.
Can you transfer to Arizona State University (ASU) from a community college?
Yes, you can transfer to Arizona State University from either a community college or a university, and thousands of students do every year. ASU has strong community college partnerships and tools like MyPath2ASU® to help students understand how their transfer credits will apply to their degree.
Is it hard to get into Arizona State University (ASU) as a transfer student?
No, it's not hard to transfer to Arizona State University. At ASU, we use a direct admission process, which means you can be directly admitted to almost any bachelor's degree program at ASU as long as you meet the admission requirements for both ASU and your major. This aligns with ASU's charter, in which we measure ourselves not by whom we exclude, but by whom we include and how they succeed.
