Transferring programs

In most cases, a student may transfer from one academic program to another, provided he or she is in good academic standing. Students considering a transfer of programs are encouraged to consult a college office adviser.

Within BGSU
Other main campus students, including pre-major advising students, wishing to transfer from another college’s program (e.g., College of Business Administration) to a program in the College of Arts and Sciences must begin the process by completing the College Transfer Form in their current college office.

The transfer process for a BGSU Firelands student follows the procedures for the other main college campuses listed above. Firelands students are encouraged to consult with an adviser in the college office on a regular basis. Advisers from main campus colleges travel to BGSU Firelands each semester to help facilitate such interaction.

From other institutions
Students wishing to transfer from another institution into a program housed in the College of Arts and Sciences must first be admitted to the University (contact the office of admissions). Typically, students are required to attend an initial orientation and registration event which occurs prior to the beginning of each term. Students will meet with an adviser to review degree requirements at that time. It is important that transcripts from previously attended institutions be evaluated by the BGSU Office of Registration and Records prior to the orientation and registration event. After such evaluation has occurred, advisers in the college can help determine the applicability of transfer credit toward BGSU degree requirements.
