TRANSFER ADMISSION AND THE ROBERT H. SMITH SCHOOL OF BUSINESS

New Application Deadlines: Beginning Fall 2011, application deadlines, for both external transfer and internal applicants to the Smith School of Business, are March 1 for fall applicants and October 1 for spring applicants. Notification dates will be April 1 for fall applicants and November 1 for spring applicants.

Admission criteria including gateway requirements, and the competitive review process will remain in place. However, students are required to apply during the semester in which they will earn 60 credits, after having completed 45 credits. Both internal and external applicants will be notified that they may be admitted in the semester during which they are finishing the necessary CORE courses and up to two gateway courses.

Admission will be offered to competitive applicants with the condition that students successfully complete courses in progress. Successful completion of courses in progress requires a minimum grade of 2.0 in each gateway course, and an overall semester grade point average of 3.0.
