Transfer application requirements
Transfer your credits to complete your degree
You’re considered a transfer student at Arizona State University if you've attended at least one college or university and have 12 or more transferable credits post-high school.
ASU only considers undergraduate applicants as transfer students. If you want to pursue a graduate degree, you might be able to transfer up to 12 credit hours depending on your program of interest. Learn more about graduate admission.
Speak to an enrollment coach
Request information to speak to an ASU Online enrollment coach about degree programs of interest, how your credits may transfer and when you would like to begin classes.
