We're excited to welcome over 200 new transfer students every year. We offer over 100 undergraduate programs that cross disciplines and provide hands-on, active learning opportunities, and we want to see that you've worked toward similar values in your education so far.
If you've built a strong college resume and you're searching for a new path within our community, we encourage you to apply.
There are a few things we like to see first and foremost when we evaluate transfer applications.
A Competitive GPA: around a 3.0 (B average) or better is our usual expectation.
A 3.0 GPA or higher is also considered competitive for merit scholarships
Challenging Coursework: We like to know that you've taken your time in college seriously. A DU education is rigorous, and we want to know that you're ready to take on the challenge.
Special Circumstances: We'd like to hear about any mitigating circumstances that might have affected your academic resume. We'll take these into account when evaluating your application.

Pass/fail classes may be transferred if the passing grade equals a C- (1.7 on a 4-point scale) or better. We'll evaluate these credits individually to see if they fit DU's coursework.

Credits are more readily accepted from institutions with regional accreditation, although credits earned at an institution with national or special accreditation will be considered.
