Transfers
Are you ready to transfer to Towson University? Start your application now.
Make sure to read all of the following instructions carefully before beginning your application. Requirements for admission vary, depending on transferable credits completed and cumulative combined GPA from all institutions attended. If you have questions, contact us at 410-704-2113 or admissions@towson.edu. Or get in touch with our admissions counselors.
1. Decide how you want to apply.
>> The Common Application
>> International Application (F1 & J1 Visa Students Only)
2. Apply, if interested, to the Honors College.
If you’re interested in the Honors College, you’ll need to complete the Honors College Application in addition to the Towson University Application or The Common Application no later than Dec. 15. (The fall 2013 Honors College application is now closed.)
3. Know the deadlines.
The final application deadline is Feb. 1 for fall admission (the deadline for fall 2013 has been extended on a space available basis) and Nov. 15 for spring. See all deadlines.
4. Pay your application fee.
A $45 non-deferrable, non-refundable fee (or fee waiver) is required with your application. If you apply online, you will be able to pay the application fee with a credit card or electronic check.
5. Send your transcripts.
Submit to University Admissions an official transcript from each college or university you’ve attended. If you’ve earned fewer than 30 college credits, a high school transcript is also required.
6. Submit standardized test scores.
Standardized test scores are not typically required for transfer applicants
unless they have earned fewer than 30 transferable credits. For students who
have fewer than 30 transferable credits, Towson requires that you submit the SAT
or ACT test scores for admission to TU.
If you are submitting an SAT score, Towson University’s College Board identification number is 5404. For the ACT, our identification number is 1718.
7. Write an essay.
Submitting an essay with your Towson application is required. The topic is up to you.
8. Find out if your intended major has additional requirements.
Some majors have additional requirements or screening criteria, such as auditions, prerequisite courses, supplemental
applications or GPA requirements. Admission to Towson University does not guarantee entry to these majors. Please refer to our complete list of
majors to determine if there are additional requirements for
the major you wish to study.
