Transfer Student Admissions

A transfer student is considered to be any person who has been enrolled in a college or university other than Howard University, regardless of course load or earned credits. An Application for Admission, the nonrefundable $45 application fee, official transcripts from all post-secondary institutions attended and one letter of recommendation from a college professor must be received by EM/Admission not later than February 15 (fall semester), November 1 (spring semester) and April 1 (summer session).

Admission criteria vary among Howard University's schools and colleges. In general, a transfer student must transfer a minimum of 15 credit hours from a regionally accredited postsecondary institution, have earned a 2.5 cumulative grade point average and received a passing grade of C or better in both a college-level English and college-level math course. Additional credentials such as a high school transcript and SAT scores may be requested for admission.
