trAnSferrinG to ucfHere are a few tips to help make your transfer to

UCF’s B.A.S. program easy and worry-free:

Apply for admission and send transcripts to •

UCF once you complete 45 credit hours

Satisfy the CLAS requirement before you •

complete 60 credit hours

Talk to your advisor as soon as you decide •

to apply to UCF

Am I eligible for the B.A.S. program? Yes, if you have completed your A.S. degree

since 2000—those who completed their A.S.

before 2000 need 36 hours of general education

requirements for admission.

When should I apply? And how? Apply to UCF once you’ve completed 45 credit

hours. You can submit an application online at

www.admissions.ucf.edu.

Do I need to complete my A.S. degree prior to applying? We strongly recommend it, but you can indicate

on your application when you plan to finish your

A.S. degree.

How do credits from my A.S. degree apply toward the B.A.S. degree? Your A.S. degree is transferred as a complete

package, and you will start the program as either

a junior or senior. UCF evaluates your credits to

see if you need any additional general education

courses or requirements.
