Transfer Students
Every year many highly qualified students
transfer to the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS). They
come for many reasons, including our exceptional range of academic
programs and our renowned faculty. They also come because of our
positive attitude toward transfer students. Transferring from one
school to another can be challenging. That’s why we work hard to make
transferring to CALS as smooth a process as possible to help qualified
students obtain the superior education they deserve.
How Do I Transfer Into CALS from…
...another Academic Institution?
Complete the UVM transfer application. If you are accepted to the
University, Transfer Affairs in the Registrar’s Office will review your
academic transcript to determine how your previous coursework might
fulfill core competencies and requirements of the current major. You
will be assigned an academic advisor for your program of study who will
work closely with you to determine the additional coursework needed to
complete the major.
...another College or School at UVM?
The minimum grade requirement for changing majors and Colleges at
UVM is a 2.00 GPA. If you are thinking of changing majors, contact a
department staff person of that major to make an appointment with a
faculty member to discuss the program further. Find out, before you do
all of the paperwork, what the career opportunities and requirements
are for that major. Certain departments in CALS require an application
to transfer. Animal Science (ASCI) and Nutrition and Food Sciences
(NFS) want to see proficiency in the sciences before accepting new
students into their program. More specifically ASCI would like a
prospective transfer student to have taken ASCI 001 and Chemistry 023
or 031. NFS would like their prospective transfer students to have
taken NFS 043 and Chemistry 023. Proficiency is considered to be a
grade of C or better in a class. Once accepted, a change of College and
major form must be filled out by going to the student forms at the Register's Office website.
