Admission Requirements

Transfer students must submit an application and application fee. The fee is waived if the application is completed online. In addition, students must have official transcripts sent from the college and university attended. Transfer students with less than 24 credit semester hours must also submit official high school transcripts and copies of the ACT or SAT.

Upon acceptance, students must submit a non-refundable deposit, a University medical form, evidence of insurance coverage, and boarding students must complete a housing contract and roommate form.

Full credit will be given for most courses transferred from WVNCC, provided the grade for each course is C (2.0) or better. Courses in which grades below a C are earned are not automatically transferable. A final Advanced Standing Evaluation is subject to the approval of the student’s academic advisor. Students may not earn credit for a course or equivalent for which prior credit was earned.

Transfer students must earn their final consecutive 30 semester credit hours at FUS. A minimum of 12 semester credit hours in upper-level courses in an academic major must be earned at FUS. To qualify for an academic minor, transfer students must earn at least 6 semester credit hours in upper-level courses at FUS.
