If you have already earned a degree at Metro State or another institution, you will apply as a second degree seeking student.
You must complete 30 residency semester credits and any other requirement determined by the college granting the degree.
You must supply official transcripts for all post-secondary institutions where you were previously enrolled (even if no credit or clock hours were earned) and official transcripts for all post-secondary credits (including military, CLEP, and advanced placement).
If you received your first degree from another Minnesota State institution, Metro State will retrieve your transcripts for you via e-Transcript. However, if there are holds on your record from the institution, you must first resolve those holds before your transcripts can be retrieved.
Most of our students started their education at another college or university. See how the credits you've earned will transfer to Metro State with Transferology.
Final application deadline:
Spring – December 1
Priority application deadlines:
Summer – March 1
Fall – March 1
*If deadline falls on a weekend, it is extended to the next business day.
You are encouraged to complete your application early in order to allow for receipt of an official transfer credit evaluation (DARS), the best selection of courses, and financial aid packaging, as well as time to plan for New Student Orientation and any required assessments. Transcripts often take 7–10 business days to be received from when they are requested and must be received by the deadline so we encourage you to apply early.
Notification of a positive admission decision will list conditions that you must satisfy before you can register for coursework, such as assessments and the required completion of New Student Orientation.
You can check the status of your application through eServices applicant portal to ensure that we have received your application, and transcripts.
