Transfer Student Information

All students interested in a Music Major or Minor must apply and be accepted to Millersville University. Students applying as transfer students must complete their application online at MILLERSVILLE.EDU/APPLY.

Official transcripts must be sent directly from each institution where coursework was attempted. Please request each previous school to issue your official transcript to Millersville University and have it sent either electronically to admissions@millersville.edu or mailed to:

Undergraduate Admissions Millersville University PO Box 1002 Millersville, PA 17551-0302

For applicants with fewer than 12 transferable credits: Please also request an official high school transcript be sent directly from your high school guidance office to the Undergraduate Admissions Office. We will usually request this information from you directly. Applicants with fewer than 12 transferable credits at the time of application will be evaluated using a combination of college and high school records.

All students interested in a Music Major or Minor must also audition and be accepted by the Tell School of Music. Students can learn more about the audition process and apply for an audition date by visiting MILLERSVILLE.EDU/MUSIC/AUDITIONS.

All transfer students must complete an audition on their designated date to be considered for one of the Tell School of Music's degree programs.

Applicants will receive their results within two weeks of completing the audition. Transfer students will also receive a list of music courses for their first semester. Students must be accepted by both the Tell School of Music and Millersville University to be eligible for a Music Major or Minor.

After a successful audition and acceptance to the University, make your deposit payment to confirm your spot at the Tell School of Music. Payments can be made through the admissions portal. 

By depositing your payment, you are securing your spot not only at the Tell School of Music but also to Millersville University.

Enrollment can also be confirmed before a successful audition. A confirmed enrollment status to the university DOES NOT mean a confirmed enrollment status to the Tell School of Music.

Music Courses Review your acceptance letter from the Tell School of Music carefully, as it will include your assigned music courses for the first semester. Follow the instructions provided below to add or drop music courses as needed.

General Education Courses In addition to your music courses, you will also need to register for general education courses. Your MarAUDIT provides a checklist of all requirements necessary to complete your degree. Review your MarAUDIT carefully to ensure that all courses from your previous university have been transferred correctly and to identify any remaining general education courses. You can also find 8-semester plans for each degree program, which include suggested General Education courses to fulfill any remaining requirements.

For Course Equivalency:

• See the Course Equivalency Lists on the Millersville Registrar's website to compare our most commonly transferred from schools and how Millersville accepts their courses. Generally, most liberal arts courses with a C- or better grade are transferable if completed at a regionally accredited institution.
• Courses not accepted include those remedial in nature, study skills courses, courses taken at institutions lacking regional accreditation, and those in which grades below C- were earned.

Courses not accepted for transfer:

• Remedial courses.
• Study skills courses.
• Courses from non-regionally accredited institutions.
• Courses with grades below a C-.

Exception: Courses in which a grade of D was earned are transferable from Pennsylvania community colleges and institutions in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, provided the cumulative GPA is 2.0 or higher. However, English Composition and Public Speaking require a C- or higher grade.
