Application Process and Information

You should use this application process if you:

  • Have attempted credits at another college, university, or other post-secondary institution AFTER graduating high school

Transfer student admission requires:

  • A 2.0 or higher overall GPA
  • 12 earned and transferable credits for a decision to be made based on college academic record.
  • With fewer than 12 transferable credits, high school transcripts may also be required.
  • A cumulative GPA is calculated for students who have earned credits at multiple institutions. 

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

The materials required for admission as a transfer student are listed below:

Step 1: Apply to Millersville University:

All students interested in a Music Major or Minor must apply and be accepted to Millersville University. Students applying as a transfer student 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 each school either send it electronically to admissions@millersville.edu or mailed to Undergraduate Admissions, Millersville University, PO Box 1002, Millersville, PA 17551-0302

For applicants who have not yet completed 12 transferable credits: Please also request an official high school transcript sent directly from your high school guidance office to the Undergraduate Admissions Office. We will usually request this information from you directly. Students with fewer than 12 transferable credits earned at the time of application will be evaluated using a combination of college and high school records.

Step 2: Apply for an Audition:

All students interested in a Music Major or Minor must also audition and be accepted at 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
