Readmissions & Transfer Student

Transferring from Another College

To begin the transfer process, submit your official college transcripts to our admissions team. They will review your coursework for applicable transfer credit toward your chosen program at South University. You may transfer up to 75% of your eligible credits¹ toward your degree.

The transfer evaluation process can be completed in as little as three days. Once it is finalized, you will be assigned a Financial Aid Advisor and an Academic Counselor, who will support you throughout the enrollment process.

¹At South University, Richmond and Virginia Beach campuses, up to 70% of credits can be transferred.

Internal Transfer Process

Students wishing to transfer between South University campuses must be in good academic standing. The Registrar’s office will review your transcripts for eligible transfer credit to ensure your academic progress remains and you will resume pursuing your degree as soon as possible.

All coursework is evaluated for current relevance; outdated material may not be eligible for transfer. University credit is not granted for developmental courses, such as basic Mathematics or English.

Credits from accredited technical colleges may be transferred only if they are equivalent to courses within South University’s degree programs, including associate degree programs.
