Students seeking admission to the University of Dallas from another college or university are expected to have at least a 2.5 GPA (on a 4.0 scale) in order to be considered for admission and must submit the following:

  1. a completed transfer student application from the university website,
  2. the $50 application fee,
  3. official transcripts of the entire college record. These transcripts must be sent directly to the Office of Undergraduate Admission from the Registrar of each college,
  4. an official high school transcript, if fewer than 24 college level credits,
  5. if submitting fewer than 24 credit hours for transfer, (optional) official scores from either the SAT or the ACT,
  6. one academic letter of recommendation.

Admitted transfer students wishing to enroll in the university must submit the $400 enrollment deposit by January 15 if enrolling for the spring semester or by August 15 if enrolling for the fall semester. The enrollment deposit is non-refundable after these dates.

Students suspended or dismissed from any other college or university may not enter the university during the term of their suspension or dismissal.

Final evaluation of transcripts is made after transfer students have earned at least 12 credits at the university with an average grade of C or better. Grades earned at other institutions are not averaged with grades earned at the university except where the students are being considered for graduation with honors. See "Graduation Honors" under Academic Policies and Procedures.

Credits transferred from a community college shall not exceed 60 credits.

Students wishing to transfer from an unaccredited college must meet the admission requirements specified for high school students as well as for transfer students. To receive credit for work completed in a non-accredited college or university, students must first complete 30 semester credits with a C average at the university. Students may receive credit in courses applicable to a degree program at the university by successful (C or better) work in more advanced courses of the same nature.
