Transfer from within the UMN Twin Cities or Rochester campuses to CSE

Prospective students must have completed a minimum of one semester of enrollment in a degree-seeking program at either the Twin Cities or Rochester campus with grades posted.

Students are encouraged to carefully explore CSE majors before applying. Please note that each CSE major is a unique degree program. Transfer students are reviewed and admitted for a specific degree program and are expected to complete the degree to which they are admitted.

Admission to CSE is competitive and based on an assessment of the applicant's academic record and potential for success in the designated degree program. Primary review factors include completion of appropriate prerequisite courses and the applicant’s technical grade point average. Other factors include the applicant’s progress toward the intended degree, cumulative grade point average, and grade trends. Because admission is based on an applicant's academic performance, a self-advocacy statement and/or letters of recommendation will not be used in the admission review process.

Required prerequisite courses and eligibility requirements vary between degree programs. Please look closely at the specific requirements for your program of interest.

It is important to note that transferring to the University of Minnesota Twin Cities into a college other than CSE does not guarantee you admission to CSE later. In fact, it may result in unintended or unexpected consequences such as challenges with accessing necessary coursework (reserved for students in CSE); new and/or additional admission considerations; limited access to CSE-specific staff, faculty, and services; and delayed time to degree completion.

Please select your bachelor's degree program of interest below for specific eligibility and admission requirements.

Important note: Required prerequisite courses will appear under Admission Requirements on a What-If APAS report. They are also listed on the CSE Four-year plan with a ◊ symbol next to the course.

Eligibility requirements

Required prerequisite courses must be completed with grades posted or in progress at the time that the application is completed.
If you have completed prerequisite courses outside of the UMN Twin Cities, it is important to make sure they are equivalent to CSE’s requirements. Please check Transferology for equivalencies as your transfer coursework may not appear correctly on a What-if APAS report.
All courses must be completed with a grade of C- or better to meet CSE’s required prerequisites. This applies to courses taken both at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities and elsewhere.
A minimum of three of the required prerequisite courses must be completed at UMNTC with grades posted at the time you complete the application.
Technical GPA requirements at the time you complete the application:
- A minimum technical GPA of 2.0 at the time you complete the application. Most successful applicants to this degree program have a 3.0 or higher technical GPA.
  
  The technical GPA is comprised only of courses taken at UMNTC. An unbracketed technical GPA is used, which means that all attempts at a course (which resulted in a letter grade of A-F) are factored into the GPA. Courses taken at other institutions may fulfill degree requirements, however, they will not be included in the technical GPA calculation.
  
  Your CSE technical GPA and total earned credits can be found on a What-if APAS report.
Applicants must have at least one year (24+ credits) of major-specific coursework remaining to be completed once admitted to CSE.
Applicants are expected to successfully complete the prerequisite coursework in-progress at the time of their application. Changes to academic coursework and/or the unsuccessful completion of coursework may result in the cancellation of admission.

Application information and requirements

Fall and spring prerequisite requirements are different so please review the information below carefully.
The online Change of College form is used by all colleges on the Twin Cities campus, and allows students to enter a first and second choice of programs. CSE will only consider the applicant’s first choice and will take no action on any second choice if noted on the application.

If you have completed prerequisite courses outside of the UMN Twin Cities, it is important to make sure they are equivalent to CSE’s requirements. Please check Transferology for equivalencies as your transfer coursework may not appear correctly on a What-if APAS report.
All courses must be completed with a grade of C- or better to meet CSE’s required prerequisites. This applies to courses taken both at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities and elsewhere.
A minimum of three of the required prerequisite courses must be completed at UMNTC with grades posted at the time you complete the application.
Technical GPA requirements at the time you complete the application:
- A minimum technical GPA of 2.0 at the time you complete the application. Most successful applicants to this degree program have a 3.0 or higher technical GPA.
  
  The technical GPA is comprised only of courses taken at UMNTC. An unbracketed technical GPA is used, which means that all attempts at a course (which resulted in a letter grade of A-F) are factored into the GPA. Courses taken at other institutions may fulfill degree requirements, however, they will not be included in the technical GPA calculation.
  
  Your CSE technical GPA and total earned credits can be found on a What-if APAS report.
Applicants must have at least one year (24+ credits) of major-specific coursework remaining to be completed once admitted to CSE.
Applicants are expected to successfully complete the prerequisite coursework in-progress at the time of their application. Changes to academic coursework and/or the unsuccessful completion of coursework may result in the cancellation of admission.

Canvas course

Students interested in transferring from within the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus to the College of Science and Engineering (CSE) are strongly encouraged to carefully review the information on this transfer webpage and complete the online Canvas module. This is a one-time course that will take approximately sixty minutes to complete. The webpage and Canvas course highlight important information when considering transferring to CSE such as course prerequisites, eligibility, review criteria, technical GPA, application deadlines, and how to apply.

Enroll in the Transferring from within the UMN Twin Cities Campus to CSE Canvas course

It can take up to 24 business hours for the completion of the Canvas course to appear on your UMN record.

Drop-in advising

Students who complete the Canvas course with a score of 100 percent may attend in-person drop-in advising with a CSE advisor. Drop-ins are five to 10-minute meetings with an academic advisor to discuss your individual questions related to course planning and transferring from within the UMN Twin Cities campus to CSE.

For the current schedule of in-person drop-ins, please visit the CSE appointments and drop-ins webpage.

Contact

Please email csetransfer@umn.edu with any specific questions for which you are unable to find answers on the program specific webpages and/or Canvas module. Please include the degree program(s) that you are interested in pursuing. You may also call us at 612-624-2890.
