Transfer Students

Information for Transfer Students

PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT OUR ADVISORS UNTIL YOU HAVE BEEN ADMITTED TO BYU

If you are planning to transfer to BYU from another institution, here are a few things you should know that will help make the process a little easier:

1. Be sure to send your FINAL transcript from your previous school!

2. Visit BYU’s transfer equivalency website to see which of your courses will transfer to BYU. Some specific engineering courses may not be listed here, so if you don’t see what you’re looking for,

3. Contact our Undergraduate Advisor, Marianne Cutchins, mariannec@byu.edu, to get those courses sorted out. Please don’t do this until you have checked the BYU Transfer Equivalency Website. We regularly add courses to this database.

4. It is imperative that you speak with Marianne about how to apply to the Mechanical Engineering program as soon as you have been admitted to BYU. Together, we will figure out which classes you will need to take here at BYU, and which, if any, of your transfer courses we can use on your application. Reminder: If you are transferring from an ABET-accredited institution, we can use grades from those courses on the application. If you are NOT transferring from an ABET-accredited institution, we will use the grades from the classes you take at BYU. 5. To check if your institution is ABET-accredited, visit this link.
