Frequently Asked Transfer Questions

Do I have to be admitted to take courses at your institution?

Typically students will need to apply for admission in order to enroll in courses. The type of application may depend on whether you are enrolling to complete a degree or to take only a couple of courses.

Is your university accredited?

Public institutions are typically regionally accredited. Please visit chea.org to find out about the importance of accreditation, the types of accreditation, and to search for the accreditation status of a specific institution.

Is the cost higher for out-of-state students?

Yes, as a state institution our tuition rate does increase for out-of-state students, but room/board and fees usually stay the same. The institution may offer a limited number of transfer scholarships.

Will my courses from my community college in Florida transfer as credit to your public university that’s in another state?

Most likely you will be able to transfer many of your courses. Find out if the institution has an online system that students can use to check course transfer equivalence. We recommend doing this before applying so you will know what courses you may still need to take before enrolling at the out-of-state institution.

How does my previous college and/or military credit apply?

Students should provide transcripts to the institution and request an evaluation of previous college and military credit. It is possible that many of your previous credits can be applied to a degree at the new institution.

Is on-campus housing available for out-of-state students?

This depends on each institution. Even if there is no on-campus housing available, the institution might be surrounded by off-campus housing options, such as apartments or rental homes, which may offer discounts to college students. Please check with the off-campus housing office of the institution.

What are the career opportunities for the particular degree?

The institution may have a website or brochures that list the career opportunities for each major or degree program.
