Transfer Admission

Georgia Tech considers any student who has attended another college or university after completion of secondary school (or left a secondary school before graduating to enroll full time in a college or university) to be a transfer student.

If the student has not yet graduated from high school, s/he must apply for freshman admission at Georgia Tech, regardless of college credit earned through a joint enrollment or similar program at the high school level.

A student may not disregard his or her college or university coursework after completion of secondary school to apply to Georgia Tech as a freshman applicant.

Students interested in special or transient (non-degree seeking) admission, please visit our Non-Degree section.

Please carefully review our detailed Transfer Admission Requirements.

Transfer Application Timetable

*All online applications must be submitted by midnight EST on the deadline date.

Transfer Information Session
Specifically designed for prospective transfer students, this session is led by one of the transfer admission counselors. Both students who have already applied and those who have not yet applied are welcome and encouraged to attend this session in order to meet an admission counselor and review specific information, including admission requirements and transfer of credit.

Transfer Information Sessions are held every Friday at 2:00 p.m. in the Bill Moore Student Success Center, except holidays. We encourage prospective students to register in advance.

Transfer Credit
You can see how coursework from many colleges and universities will transfer to Georgia Tech using the Transfer Equivalencies Table.

Second Undergraduate Degree-Seeking Students
Georgia Tech defines a Second Undergraduate Degree applicant as one who has completed a bachelor's degree from another accredited institution and who is seeking enrollment at Georgia Tech to obtain another undergraduate degree in a different major or field of study. A student may not apply or be accepted for a second undergraduate degree in the same or very closely related field of study. All admission requirements for students seeking a second undergraduate degree are the same as for regular transfer applicants, including specific courses, hours, and GPA by major.
*Note: Students interested in majoring in architecture should apply for the Master's degree in Architecture if they already have a bachelor's degree in any field of study. Please contact the College of Architecture with any questions.
