The University of Evansville defines transfer students as those who have graduated from high school or received their GED and have enrolled at a college or university, regardless of credit hours earned. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis (no specific deadline) and students are welcome to apply for either the fall or the spring semester. Your application for admission will be carefully reviewed to determine your level of academic preparation and your potential for success at the University of Evansville. In addition, involvement in activities associated with high school, college, and the community in which you live is important. To be considered for admission your cumulative college grade point average should be at least 2.0 on a 4.0 scale. Additionally, your high school transcript will be reviewed for strength of curriculum and academic performance. Comments from the Dean of Student Recommendation Form, included with the application for admission, will also be taken into consideration. You may supplement your application with a personal statement letter. What documents do I need to provide?
What if I am applying to the Doctor of Physical Therapy Program? Applications to this professional program are accepted beginning in August of the academic year prior to the anticipated date of entry. Interviews for qualified candidates will begin in October. Entry into the professional program is competitive and a special application and interview are required. Applicants are admitted on a rolling basis. Once 40 seats are filled, further qualified applicants will be placed on an alternate list. Visit the Department of Physical Therapy's Web site at http://pt.evansville.edu for more detailed information or contact the Office of Admission at 800-423-8633, ext. 2468, or admission@evansville.edu with any questions. What do I need to do to be considered for financial aid and scholarships? For consideration of need based financial aid, you should file the FAFSA or Renewal FAFSA and request the results to be sent to the University of Evansville. UE's FAFSA code is 001795. It is best to file your FAFSA by March 1. This is especially true for Indiana residents to receive maximum financial aid consideration. The University recommends that you file your FAFSA electronically. To do so, first you need to obtain your PIN number by going to www.pin.ed.gov. Once the PIN is established, you can then complete the online FAFSA at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/. Traditional paper FAFSA forms are available from the Office of Financial Aid and at most college financial aid offices and high school guidance offices. If you are interested in obtaining a financial aid estimate before you apply for admission, contact the Office of Admission for assistance. Transfer students are eligible for scholarships provided they are full-time students (12 credit hours or more per semester). One should apply for these scholarships through the application for admission. Listed below are transfer student scholarships.
Students who qualify for more than one of these awards will automatically receive the one of highest value. Students are eligible for one award only. How will my courses transfer? Each applicant's circumstances will vary, but one important issue to all transfer students is the evaluation of transfer credit. Once you are admitted, we will notify you of exactly how many hours will transfer, how many will apply toward graduation, and how many you need to complete your degree. Most courses in which you have earned at least a grade of 'C,' will transfer to UE. If you are interested in learning about which of your courses will transfer to UE before you apply for admission, transfer credit estimates are available. Listed below are general education requirement course equivalency lists from area colleges. Please know additional courses besides general education requirements will transfer from these colleges. General education transfer credit lists are available for the following colleges and universities (to receive a credit listing from those currently under revision, contact the Office of Admission at admission@evansville.edu or call 812-488-2733:
If you have any questions about credits from other colleges, please contact us at 800-423-8633, ext. 2733, or e-mail admission@evansville.edu. How many hours must I earn to graduate from UE? You must earn a minimum of 63 credit hours at UE in order to graduate. What about orientation, registration, housing, meal plans, etc.? Once you are admitted and have submitted your $300 reservation deposit, you will receive a packet which includes applications for housing and meal plans, your health card, and information about STAR (Student Transfer Advising and Registration). STAR is held in January for students enrolling for the spring semester and in June or August for students enrolling for the fall semester. At STAR you will take any necessary placement tests, meet current students and administrators to learn more about UE, and meet with a faculty advisor who will assist you in course selection and registration. Can I talk with a current student who transferred to the University of Evansville? Sometimes it's nice to talk with someone who has "been there, done that." If you would like to communicate with a current student who transferred to UE, e-mail Karen Bayles at kb94@evansville.edu. She will forward your e-mail to a transfer student for a response. What is the timeline from applying to eventually becoming a UE student?
