Intra-University Transfer
Undergraduate students in the College of Arts and Science, Blair School of Music, School of Engineering, and Peabody College may request a transfer between the schools. Students are eligible for intra-university transfer after having been enrolled on a full-time basis at Vanderbilt for two semesters. Students who transferred to Vanderbilt from another institution are eligible for intra-university transfer after having completed at least one full semester at Vanderbilt and having achieved sophomore standing. To be eligible for transfer, students must meet the requirements of the school they wish to enter.
Students seeking transfer between schools within the university must meet the following requirements:
- A student who has been in residence for two regular semesters must have a minimum of 24 hours and a cumulative grade point average of 1.800.
- A student who has been in residence for three regular semesters must have a minimum of 39 hours and a cumulative grade point average of 1.850.
- A student who has been in residence for four regular semesters must have a minimum of 54 hours and a cumulative grade point average of 1.900.
- A student who has been in residence for five regular semesters must have a minimum of 69 hours and a cumulative grade point average of 1.950.
Individual schools and/or majors may impose additional restrictions beyond the minimum requirements listed above. Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate credit, if accepted by Vanderbilt, can be used to meet these requirements.
Students apply through the Office of the University Registrar. Note the application deadline posted on the Registrar’s website.
