• Official college transcript from each institution attended

≤23 completed credit hours

• Official college transcript from each institution attended
• Official high school transcript from graduating high school or GED score

When to apply

*While the dates above are deadlines, we recommend that you submit your application and required documents 6-8 months before you intend to transfer to WMU. Applicants are reviewed on a rolling basis, and Â鶹´«Ã½s will be notified of decisions approximately two weeks after completing their application checklist.  Admitted Â鶹´«Ã½s must make an appointment to meet with an academic advisor prior to being able to register for classes. Our transfer Â鶹´«Ã½s are given priority for registration dates based on the number of transfer credit hours completed.

Note: Some academic programs have separate admission requirements and/or require an additional application, portfolio or audition. Be sure to review the appropriate department website for detailed information and application deadlines.
