Transfer Student Course Requirements
Transfer candidates must be in good standing, both academically and socially, at the institution or institutions they have attended. Successful applicants ordinarily will have earned a cumulative grade point average of a 3.o or better at their previous colleges; they also will have completed, or come close to completing, the specific transfer requirements for the school and program they wish to enter. The UVA Central Admission office requires the submission of ALL previous college and high school transcripts.
Students are ordinarily admitted only for the fall semester. Students interested in spring admission must have 24 credit hours earned and completed by the end of the fall semester preceding the desired spring semester. Admission is granted to individual schools and not specific departments or majors within the schools.

Test Scores
- In alignment with UVA’s undergraduate admissions policies, transfer students are not required to submit standardized test scores (SAT or ACT scores).
- Applicants to the Teacher Education program: Students are not required to take teacher licensure exams prior to admission. If you have taken any licensure exams (Virginia Communication and Literacy Assessment, Praxis Elementary Multiple Subjects, Reading for Virginia Educators), you may wish to add those scores to your application, but scores are not required. The majority of teacher education students take their licensure exams during the third and fourth year.
