Transfer Students
Each year approximately 175 transfer students join the Tulane community in the spring or fall semester. The transfer process works differently than the initial college admission process, and we hope this section will guide you through it.
Interested in transferring to Tulane?
Application Requirements
In order to complete the transfer application process (fall or spring), you must submit the following materials:
- Common Application
- High school transcript(s)
- College transcript(s)
- Optional: ACT or SAT test score*
- International transfer students only:
- TOEFL/IELTS score**
- Certification of Finances form
- WES Evaluation if studying at a non-American university
When reviewing transfer applications, we look for strong transfer applicants with at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA or higher with coursework in English Composition or College Writing, higher level Mathematics (such as Calculus or Statistics), and ideally foreign language. To be eligible for admission to Tulane, all transfer applicants must have attended a regionally accredited college or university and be in good standing at their most recent education institution.
After you apply, please be sure to check your Green Wave Portal to confirm that we have received all your required materials on your application checklist. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that we have received all materials in a timely fashion. If you have questions about your application checklist after logging into your Green Wave portal, please email transfer@tulane.edu.
**International students can send either the SAT or the ACT in place of the TOEFL or IELTS. International students must submit at least one standardized test. Please contact transfer@tulane.edu if you have taken the Duolingo test and are interested in using that for your application.
