Columbia’s application for transfer admission to Columbia College and Columbia Engineering is now live for the 2024-2025 application cycle. We encourage students to become familiar with our application instructions and our holistic review process. Students must apply using the Coalition Application on Scoir by March 1, 2025.
Begin Your Transfer Application
To be eligible to enroll at Columbia, you must have completed, or be in the process of completing, the equivalent of one full academic year, typically a minimum of 24 credits, at a US-style college. A college is considered to be "US-style" if courses are offered in similar terms to United States colleges (i.e. quarters, semesters, etc.), you will receive a grade for each course in each term and you will also receive an English-language transcript. Candidates who have completed more than four semesters of college coursework elsewhere are not encouraged to apply. Columbia’s academic requirements and institutional policies make completion of all graduation requirements in a reasonable and timely fashion unlikely.
