Transfer Students

The transfer admission process is for students who are transferring to UC from another university or college and wish to apply to the University Honors Program. If you are a current UC student enrolled in a baccalaureate program and wish to apply to the University Honors Program you must apply through the fall transition process.

Applications from students who are transferring to UC are accepted year-round. Transfer students must apply at least one month before they begin courses at the University of Cincinnati. 

Applications are now open for students starting in Spring 2025. To be eligible for Spring 2025, you must submit your application before 11:59pm on December 13, 2024.  All decisions will be made by early January.

To be eligible, applicants must have:

• a completed application
• a minimum cumulative college GPA of 3.2 or above
• admitted into a baccalaureate program by a college at the University of Cincinnati.
• not yet started classes at UC
• graduate Spring 2026 or later

Admission is very competitive and is based on the application, academic accomplishment, and involvement outlined in the resume. Meeting the eligibility is not a guarantee of admission to the University Honors Program.

Currently, the University Honors Program is unable to admit to UC Online students. UC Online programs are completely online programs. If you are unsure if you qualify, please reach out to us before completing the application.
