Interested in how your current college credits will transfer into your online program at MU?  You can review our Transfer Equivalencies page for more information on how credits transfer from schools we work with frequently!

*Note, we do accept credits from other regionally accredited schools not listed on this page!  If a college is not listed that does not mean we won’t accept their transfer credits.  If the college is listed but the course is not, it hasn’t been reviewed for transfer yet and will be reviewed upon receipt of an official transcript.

We do review and admit students early before graduation of high school, associate’s or other bachelor’s degrees!  We do recommend applying once the final semester of your current level program begins.  You can submit an application and copies of all current official transcripts for early acceptance.

Updated and final transcripts must be submitted before starting the program once graduation and the degree is completed.  Any missing pre-requisite courses must be completed and transferred in before beginning your online program.

If you previously began a program at Millersville, you can reapply to return online!  If you are not currently an active MU student, you will need to submit a new application to reactivate and begin again.  You do not need to request your MU transcripts.  We will let you know if any other transcripts or documents are required!

To earn a Millersville degree, transfer students are required to complete a minimum of 30 semester hours at Millersville, including 50 percent of their major department requirements (excluding student teaching).

Students who have been awarded transfer credit for a particular course, and subsequently complete the same course at Millersville, forfeit the transfer credit.

Transfer credits are not used in computing Millersville GPAs.

Millersville University’s Online Programs offer rolling admissions and applications are reviewed for acceptance as they become complete.

Once all application documents are received, an official admissions decision will be made and a transfer credit evaluation will be completed. If accepted into the program, a confirmation email will be sent to access your application portal.

To confirm acceptance and secure a spot in the program, the admissions response form must be submitted. Information on the response form will be sent to accepted students.  No acceptance deposit is required to confirm acceptance!

*Students must complete at least 6 credits per semester to be eligible for financial aid.  Visit the Financial Aid website for more information.
