Transfer Student Application Process

There are three steps in the application process for transfer students. All steps must be completed in order to be admitted and be able to enroll in classes at OSU-Tulsa.

1. Complete and submit the online application.  
   Students applying for undergraduate admission can complete their application in more than one sitting if necessary.  The essay questions are not required, but not doing so will limit scholarship opportunities at both the Tulsa and Stillwater campuses. Check here for additional requirements if applying as an international student.
2. Pay the application fee.
   The OSU application fee is $40 ($90 for international students) and is nonrefundable.  This fee must be paid before your application can be processed.

   • Admission Application waivers based on military service are also available. Qualifications and instructions are provided within the application.
3. Submit an official transcript from each and every college or university you have attended.  All transcripts are required before your admission can be reviewed.  All transcripts must be dated within the last three months and must be in SEALED envelopes.  Transcripts can be delivered in person or mailed to:  OSU-Tulsa, Office of Undergraduate Admissions, 700 N.
