UST students seeking an off-campus transfer equivalent should consult with the appropriate UST department before enrolling in an
off-campus course.

Admissions Guidelines:
St. Thomas admits students on a first come, first served basis. Applications are reviewed as they arrive, as soon as they are
determined to be complete. The sooner you apply the better. An early application can facilitate an earlier registration time
for classes.
St. Thomas will consider applications from students who have attained a grade-point average of at least 2.3 in
transferable baccalaureate-level courses.
Although we do not have an application deadline, we do encourage students to apply by August 1 for fall semester and
January 1 for spring semester. Generally, students are notified of acceptance within three weeks of completing their
application.
Notes:
Students will be required to fulfill general education requirements as published in the catalog of the year they
enroll at the University of St. Thomas.
Only coursework in which the student earned a grade of C- or higher from a regionally accredited college/university will be
recognized for credit at St. Thomas.
St. Thomas requires 84 credits outside the major department (76 credits for business majors), and a total of 132 credits for
graduation. Students must complete 32 of their last 36 credits at St. Thomas, as stated in the Senior Residency
Requirement.
This guide sheet is accurate to the best of our knowledge and ability at the time of publication, but is subject to change.
UST Transfer Award:
Merit-based financial aid is offered to new transfer students who have demonstrated academic success at the post-secondary
level and positively contributed to their community. Awards will vary based on the applicant’s academic credentials and
other achievements. Transfer students accepted for admission to the University of St. Thomas may receive $2,000-$18,000
per year.
There is no separate application required. All students accepted for regular admission as new transfers to St. Thomas will
be automatically considered for any available funds. Accepted students will receive confirmation of their institutional
commitment along with their offer of admission. Applicants will be considered on a rolling basis and recipients will be
selected until UST Transfer Award funds are exhausted.
Students admitted to St. Thomas under the condition of “accept with concern” “conduct probation” or “provisional” are not
eligible to receive a UST Transfer Award, but may qualify for other need-based sources of financial aid.
