TRANSFER TO OSWEGO
Become a Laker
If you have earned at least 12 credit hours at another college or university, following graduation from high school, we consider you a transfer student. If enrolling with 24 or fewer credits, or no more than two full-time semesters completed, you may apply as an undecided major. All other applicants need to select a major when applying.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, but we encourage you to apply as early as possible to receive the fullest consideration.
