Admissions Requirements (U.S.): Transfer Student

Admission Requirements

Barry University accepts applications on a rolling basis. However, it is in your best interest to apply as soon as possible. Please note that general admission to Barry University does not guarantee acceptance into all academic majors. Consult the academic requirements for your academic area of interest.

Applicants who have at least 12 transferable credits from a regionally accredited college or university, you would be considered a transfer applicant (High school students with advanced placement and college credits should apply as first-year applicants.)

Transfer applicants are required to complete the following application process:

1. Complete an online undergraduate application by creating a myBarry account. Applying online is highly encouraged because it expedites the admission process. However, you may also download and mail a conventional paper application.
2. Submit the non-refundable application fee: $20.00/online application using your myBarry account or $30.00/paper application, made payable by check or money order to Barry University.
3. Submit official transcripts from all post-secondary institutions. Incomplete transcripts must be updated with final official transcripts as soon as all coursework is completed.
4. If you have completed a G.E.D., forward the official results of that examination and the official high school transcripts documenting your secondary education.
5. For assistance with the application process and a full description of admissions requirements, please consult your program pages, the Barry University catalog, or better yet, speak with your admissions counselor when you visit us on campus.

Once admitted, a full evaluation of all final official transcripts will be completed and a copy of the results will be sent to you by mail. It is recommended that you then meet with an academic advisor from the major that you have been admitted to so that you may discuss which credits will be applied towards a Barry University degree.
