Transfer Students

Transfer studentsA third of our undergraduates transfer from other institutions—some from junior colleges, some from other universities. Our experience shows that these students adjust well and graduate at about the same levels as students who start at Auburn as freshman.

The Engineering Student Services division, located in Shelby Center 1210 is the support division for undergraduates enrolled in the College of Engineering. Through this office the freshman programs and advising are handled. In addition we provide support to transfer students. Transfer credit evaluations are provided as well as advising, counseling, and tutorial services in mathematics, science, and other required engineering courses.

If you are a transfer student coming to Auburn University, please do the following:

  • Keep in mind that if you apply early you have a better chance of being accepted and registering for the classes you want.
  • Make sure that you meet the admissions requirements. To view Auburn University admissions requirements click here AU Icon.
