Transfer Requirements

If you are transferring to Miami University Oxford campus for the spring semester, you are welcome to participate in men’s or women’s recruitment as long as you meet the following requirements. To affiliate with a fraternity or sorority, a student must have completed, at Miami University or other accredited institution of higher education:

• One full-time fall or spring semester.
  
  
• 12 college credit hours (does not include AP, IB, dual-enrollment credit achieved in high school).
  
  
• At least a 2.5 minimum, cumulative, grade point average for Panhellenic, MGC, and NPHC organizations and at least a minimum 2.75 for Interfraternity Council (IFC) fraternities. Transfer GPAs cannot be combined – only the most recent college GPA received will be considered.
  
  
• The online education course prior to formally accepting a bid of membership.
  
  
• Student eligibility will be verified through the Cliff Alexander Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life prior to the chapter extending any form of invitation to membership. Only transcripts from the most recent institution attended will be considered.
  
  
• Once membership has been gained to a fraternity or sorority, it is up to each chapter to determine an individual’s requirements to maintain membership.

Registration for recruitment occurs during the fall semester. The deadline for registration is typically in early January. While you may register for recruitment before you receive your Miami ID, you should have that information by the deadline in January.

Once you have registered, you must submit a transcript from your current institution, in order for the Cliff Alexander Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life to verify that you have met the above requirements. Please submit transcripts to Elissa Christmas.

If you have any further questions, contact Elissa Christmas or 513-529-1462.
