Florida Tech is a direct admit university and students apply for and are admitted directly into their desired degree programs. Apply anytime or get more information about how your credits will transfer.
Academic Preparedness
When reviewing transfer applications, our primary focus is on your prior academic performance in college, which makes your college transcripts the most important element of your application. Undergraduate transfer applicants must demonstrate preparation for continued undergraduate study and the readiness to succeed in a challenging academic program at Florida Tech.
In general, transfer students should have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.50 or higher in prior college coursework to be considered for admission. Students who have completed less than 24 semester hours of college coursework, when applying, will also be evaluated on their high school (secondary) preparedness as outlined in their high school transcripts.
Transfer Application Requirements
When to Apply
Florida Tech is a rolling admissions university. Applications for undergraduate transfer admission are accepted year-round and evaluated as they are received. Typically, transfer applicants will receive an admissions decision within 10 business days of submitting a completed application. Transfer credit evaluations are processed separately, and may require more or less time to review.
Materials to Submit
To be evaluated for transfer admission, you must submit a complete Florida Tech application, or a Transfer Common Application, as well as:
- Official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended (with English translations if international)
- High school transcript, high school diploma or GED (must bear date of graduation)
- Standardized test scores (if you have earned fewer than 24 semester hours of college credit)
Transfer Credit Information
Prior college or university coursework will be evaluated for transfer credit on a course by course basis by the Office of the Registrar. Students who have completed advanced credit coursework or demonstrated proficiency in certain subject areas through placement or equivalency examinations may receive college credit for their work upon enrolling at Florida Tech. This applies to students with prior flight training as well.
How much credit will transfer to Florida Tech? Whether your college credit, advanced credit, or test scores are accepted depends on the type of course or test, the subject, your score, and if there is an appropriate Florida Tech equivalent. This determination is made by the Office of the Registrar.
