Requirements for Transfer Admission
At Saint Louis University, we make transferring easy. Once you complete your transfer application, we will automatically review your application for admission and consider you for financial aid. Transfer applications are reviewed on a rolling basis so you don’t have to worry about missing deadlines.
Completing Your Transfer Application
Complete SLU’s online application for admission at slu.edu/apply.
Submit official copies of transcripts from every college or university where you’ve attempted credit. This includes original transcripts for college-level coursework you completed during high school, even if those courses also appear as transferred-in credit on a later transcript. SLU prefers all transcripts be sent electronically to transfer@slu.edu. If your institution is unable to do so, they may be mailed to:
Office of Admission
1 N. Grand Blvd.
St. Louis, MO 63103.

High School Transcript and Test Scores
If you have completed fewer than 24 credit hours at the time you apply for admission, you must submit an official high school transcript with graduation date and ACT or SAT scores as well. Test scores can be sent electronically or included with the official high school transcript.
Note: Saint Louis University offers a standardized-test-optional admission process for all undergraduate programs — applicants may submit standardized test scores, but those who choose not to will not be disadvantaged in any way in the admission process.
International Transfer Student Requirements
All international applicants to SLU are required to demonstrate their English proficiency by submitting scores from standardized tests taken to prepare for college such as the TOEFL, IELTS, PTE, SAT or ACT.
If you do not meet SLU’s direct entry requirements, we encourage you to apply to the Pathway or English Language programs offered by INTO Saint Louis University.
Filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is only required if you wish to be considered for need-based financial aid.
You can file the FAFSA online at fafsa.ed.gov. The FAFSA priority deadline for summer and fall 2024 applicants is April 1, 2024 and Nov. 1 for spring applicants.
