Undergraduate Transfer Other UM Schools and Colleges

If your students plans to transfer to another undergraduate school or college of the University, you should check to see what courses are recommended for the first year in that particular program. Helpful information can be found in Chapter V of the LS&A Bulletin. You should investigate carefully the entrance requirements for transferring to the College of Architecture and Urban Planning, the School of Business Administration, the School of Dentistry (for the program in Dental Hygiene), the School of Education, the College of Engineering, and the College of Pharmacy. These and other professional schools have their own admission standards, programs, and goals. Transfer is not automatic; your student must apply to and be accepted by any other unit within the UM, and admission to some programs is very competitive. Appropriate times to apply for transfer vary among these schools and their programs.

As a student enrolled in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts, your student should not neglect the requirements of the College in anticipation of transfer to another UM unit.
