Transfer Student Checklist
Transfer students applying to the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology use the Undergraduate Application for Admission. If fee has been previously paid to a South Dakota state university, it is not assessed again.
Transfer students must also send an OFFICIAL transcript from each post-secondary institution attended, excluding South Dakota Board of Regents Institutions: Dakota State University, Northern State University, South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, South Dakota State University, or University of South Dakota.
See Transfer Student Checklist for more information. (Information for accepted transfer students is also available.)
An applicant for admission to the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology is considered a transfer applicant if he or she has enrolled for any college-level work, full or part-time, since graduation from high school.
The requirements listed below are the minimum requirements to all six universities in the Board of Regents system. Individual universities and individual programs within the universities may have higher requirements.
A. Transfer students with 24 or more semester credits are eligible to be candidates for admission if they meet both
standards below:
- Have a cumulative college grade point average of 2.0 or higher.
- Are in good standing with their most recently attended school.
B. Students with less than a 2.0 GPA may be admitted on probation, but each applicant is considered on an individual basis.
C. Transfer students under the age of 21 who have earned fewer than 24 semester credits must also meet the freshman admission requirements.
