How to Apply

We aim to make our admission process as easy as possible. Because UAH offers rolling admissions, we don’t have admission application deadlines. Transfer students should have their official college transcripts and relevant test scores ready to submit when applying. We require a non-refundable application fee of $40.

Here are the following academic standards and admissions requirements for transfer applicants:

  • Applicant must hold a minimum overall college "C" average (2.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale), along with a minimum "C" average (2.0 GPA) in all transferable courses.
  • Applicant's previous institution(s) must be regionally accredited.
  • Applicant must be in good standing at previous institution(s).
  • An official final transcript will be required as soon as it is available for any work completed after submitting the application for admission.

All applications are sent through your Charger Status account. Here are some more important things you can do with this account in addition to applying for admission and checking your application status:

  • Track what items have been received by the Office of Admissions.
  • View a to-do list of next steps to help you stay on track.
  • Register for daily campus visits and events.
  • Receive important information regarding the admission process, scholarship opportunities, and upcoming events.

Here are the following required documents transfer applicants must submit for admission consideration:

  • College Transcripts: Send official college transcript(s) from all previously attended colleges/universities to UAH through an electronic delivery service. UAH accepts official transcripts from Parchment, Student Clearinghouse, and Scoir.
  • High School Transcripts: If you have fewer than 24 academic credit hours, you must also submit your high school transcripts and ACT scores. Send your official high school transcripts to UAH through an electronic delivery service such as Parchment, Student Clearinghouse, and Scoir.
  • International Students: Please see the international admissions page; international applicants do not apply as transfers. Academic records for high school or college education received outside of the United States must be evaluated by a credential evaluation service and should include a document-by-document (high school) or course-by-course (college) evaluation and a grade point average for each institution attended. Applicants are responsible for contacting the evaluation agency directly so that the evaluation agency can send the official evaluation report to UAH. Acceptable evaluation services include Josef Silny & Associates, Inc. International Education Consultants, World Education Services, Inc., Lisano International, or Spantran.
  • If your high school or college does not have access to these services, request that they send your official hard-copy transcripts to:

    UAH Admissions
    SSB, Suite 106
    301 Sparkman Drive
    Huntsville, AL 35899

If you have fewer than 24 academic credit hours, you will be required to submit official ACT or SAT scores to the Office of Admissions. Official ACT or SAT scores should be sent directly to UAH by the testing agency.

  • ACT
    www.ACT.org
    School code: 0053
  • SAT
    www.CollegeBoard.org
    School code: 1854
  • High school graduates who have been out of high school for five or more years may not be required to submit ACT or SAT test scores. We accept ACT or SAT scores listed on your official high school transcript.

As a transfer student, I knew I needed to go to a school that felt like home with a tight-knit community. I love being a Charger and could not imagine anything else!
