Step 3: Apply for Scholarships
UM-Flint offers a range of Merit Scholarships for transfer students to help lower the cost of your degree. All applicants are automatically considered for the UM-Flint Transfer Scholarship, which awards $2,500 per year for two years to transfers with a 3.0 cumulative GPA. Additional scholarships are available but may require a separate application. We encourage every applicant to apply, regardless of background.
Step 4: Review Your Transfer Credit
The university completes your official transfer credit review at the time of admission, and you can view the results in your online student account. To see how your credits may transfer before applying, use our Transfer Equivalency tool. Even courses not listed in the database may still qualify upon review. UM-Flint awards credit for courses taken at regionally accredited institutions and passed with a “C” (2.0) or higher. The full policy is in the UM-Flint catalog.
