International Transfer Students Transferable Credit

Start Your Application

Transfer students can apply with The Common Application (accepted at more 600+ institutions worldwide) or Miami’s Transfer Application (no essay required). In order to be eligible to apply all students must have a minimum cumulative college GPA of 2.0 or higher and must be in good academic standing at their current college.

What You'll Need to Apply

College transcripts

Provide transcripts for each institution you have attended, including any CCP or dual credit courses. Unofficial transcripts are accepted at the time of application; official transcripts are required before enrollment. Military-affiliated students must submit documentation for alternative credit.

High School transcripts

High school transcripts are required at the time of application if you haven’t completed 20 graded semester hours of college-level coursework after high school graduation. Final, official high school transcripts with the date of graduation are required before enrollment.

Midterm Report/Recommendation (optional)

If you’re in your first term of college, we recommend that you submit a mid-term report (PDF) with current grades and/or a recommendation from a college instructor. You may email these optional materials to transfer@MiamiOH.edu.
