2. Create a smooth transition plan.
Transfer-admission criteria can vary based upon the number of transferable semester hours of college coursework completed by the time you enroll at UCF. To learn more about specific transfer requirements, select the category below that best describes you:
- I will have fewer than 30 transferable semester hours
- I will have 30 or more, but fewer than 60 transferable semester hours
- I will have 60 or more transferable semester hours
For transfer applications, UCF operates on a rolling admission basis and generally notifies you of an admission decision once all of your supporting documentation are received and reviewed. You can check your admission status online through the myUCF portal. Once admitted, a transfer credit summary will be available on myUCF.
