Transfer Students

Beginning the Transfer Process

As a student currently attending another college/university, and interested in transferring to Youngstown State University, we encourage you to review the information and guided step-by-step instructions below to assist with this process. Answers to any additional questions may be found in the Frequently Asked Questions section of the website, or by contacting Kim Avery in the Office of Admissions at 330-941-1662, or by email at kaavery@ysu.edu.

Students must meet the following requirements to be admitted as a transfer student to Youngstown State University:

• Be in good standing at the previously attended school.
• Have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 (on a 4.0 scale).
  • Students with less than a 2.0 cumulative grade point average may still be considered for admission on a case-by-case basis and admitted on a warning, or probationary status.

Please note that applicants suspended or dismissed from their most recent institutions are not eligible for admission for at least one semester (excluding summer) following the term in which the suspension occurred. Transfer students with multiple suspensions or dismissals may not be eligible for admission. Please contact Admissions with any questions, or for further instruction.
