Transfer Student FAQs
Learn how to apply to FAMU as a Transfer student, including eligibility, requirements, deadlines, and enrollment options
You are considered a transfer applicant if you have attended a college or university after graduating from high school. This includes students who have completed an Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree from a Florida College System (FCS) institution or any other regionally accredited college or university. If you previously attended another institution after graduating from high school and are now seeking to complete your bachelor's degree at FAMU, you fall under the transfer category—even if you only attended part-time. Students who have earned fewer than 12 transferable credit hours after high school should apply as a freshman applicant and meet freshman admission requirements.
