Undergraduate Admissions

Prospective Transfer Students

The decision to transfer institutions can be challenging. A large percentage of our military connected student community at USD are transfer students, just like you!

We encourage our transfer students to have:

  • 24 transferable semester units (or 36 quarter units) completed
  • A GPA above the minimum of 3.0
  • Completed English Composition & College Algebra

Ultimately, transfer admissions for veterans & active-duty can be flexible, including providing application fee waivers and accepting applications after the priority deadlines.

We recommend applicants reach out to Transfer Admissions & our university's military admissions counselor when applying.
