Step 1. Review the Guaranteed Requirements.
Review the requirements for admission as a transfer student. If you are not eligible for guaranteed admission, you may be eligible to apply to the University through the Admission by Committee process. The Office of Admissions will notify you if you are eligible to be considered for admission to the University through Admission by Committee. For questions, contact:
Caitlin Smith
transfer@louisiana.edu
115 Lee Hall
337- 482 -1262
Step 2. Complete the Admissions Process.
Apply online for admission to the University. If you have any questions, email admissions@louisiana.edu.
NOTE: There is a $25.00 non-refundable application fee. Payment must be submitted online by credit card (Mastercard, Discover, and American Express) or electronic check. Checks or money orders are accepted via mail. Cash is not an accepted form of payment. Applications and/or application fees received beyond the priority processing dates will incur an additional $25.00 late application charge.
College Transcripts: Transfer students must have each collegiate institution attended send an official transcript directly to the Office of Admissions at P.O. Box 41210, Lafayette LA 70504-1210 or etranscripts@louisiana.edu.
If you are currently attending a University, we encourage a partial record to determine initial eligibility. A final official transcript must also be submitted upon completion of any classes currently attending.
Please send the Request for Transcript of Credits Form to each institution when requesting transcripts to be sent to UL Lafayette.
High School Transcripts: If you have completed less than 24 hours, you need to include a high school transcript and ACT or SAT scores.
Immunization Form: Immunization Forms are to be submitted to Student Health Services (Please return the completed form to: University of Louisiana at Lafayette; Student Health Service: PO Box 43692, Lafayette, LA 70504-3692, Fax: 337-482-1873).
Step 3. After Admissions.
Wait for notification from Admissions stating your admission status.
A notification from the Academic Success Center will arrive during the advising period, inviting you to meet with your advisor. Once you do this, you will be eligible to move forward with the registration process.
Summer or Fall - advising and scheduling is in April
Spring - advising and scheduling is in November
When you contact your advisor, ask if you need to bring a copy of your transcript to the appointment. Some advisors do not have immediate access to Admissions records.
Sign up for orientation. Orientation is mandatory for all transfer students.
If you plan to receive financial aid (loans, grants, LA TOPS), a completed transcript is necessary to determine eligibility.
