Request InfoMake Room for What’s Next
Each transfer student arrives at Alabama State University with a unique story, whether they began at a community college, are returning after military service or a break or are seeking a supportive environment.
We guide students to labs where they develop future medical advances, foster creativity for success in business and the arts and prepare them to inspire learners through our teachers’ college legacy.
Empowering our community during their time as Hornets embodies the extraordinary strength of our founders in everything we do. We rally our community for game days, celebrate generations of accomplishments and make sure our transfer students pick up right where they left off.
Whether you’re an aspiring engineer or scientist, a teacher or business professional or an artist or health care leader, the legacy you’ve already started continues at ASU, experience by experience, connection by connection. Make room for your own greatness.

You’ll apply as a transfer student if you have completed a minimum of 15 college-level credits with a cumulative 2.0+ GPA. Students with at least 24 credits become eligible for transfer scholarships.
If you have up to 14 credits, you’ll apply as a freshman transfer student.
Applying from overseas? Keep in mind ASU’s admission requirements for international students.
Speak to students and faculty, hear about the admissions process and feel the rush of a game to experience all that awaits you as a Hornet.

TESTIMONIAL
“Because I was the only minority in my community when I was growing up, and because there were few people who looked like me as a transfer student from another university, I always knew I wanted to attend a historically Black college or university. I was aware that I wanted to spend my college years surrounded by people who shared my culture.”Amber Mitchell (2027)
