Transferring to SLU
It doesn’t matter where your college career began, we’ll help you finish what you started.
At Saint Louis University, we welcome transfer students and the diversity of intellectual experiences they bring to our campus. And because you may have different questions than traditional first-year students, we offer specialized programs and services to help you explore your options and transition to SLU.
Credit by Exam
When you transfer to SLU, you may receive transfer credit for college-level coursework you've already completed. Additionally, credit by exam may be available through qualifying scores on some examinations.
