Transfer Student Admissions

Using our streamlined and shortened Stetson Application or the Common App below, you can submit the admissions application today to maximize your chances for any potential financial aid. Then, follow up with the required school transcripts and a writing sample at a later date.

Stetson University is now on a rolling basis for both Spring and Fall 2025, so please apply as early as possible. Once the class is filled, we will no longer accept applications.

What You Need to Transfer

Before you proceed, make sure you submit the admissions application to Stetson University first to kick-start the application process. Once it is submitted, you can then do the following:

For the purpose of admissions, we accept self-reported information. Stetson University requires that students with less than 60 earned college credit classes, submit official high school transcripts with a completed or graduation date on them, or proof of completion of AA degree be submitted by the end of the student's first semester. Failure to provide official transcripts by this deadline will result in the suspension of any financial aid, and students will be prohibited from registering for spring semester classes.

Official transcripts can also be ordered through Parchment, eScrip or SCOIR and delivered electronically to Stetson University. The Office of Admissions mailing address and fax number are located at the bottom of this page.

All applicants are recommended to submit a writing sample. The writing sample can use one of the essay topics below or may be a graded paper or essay.

Essay Topics

  • Discuss an issue of state, national or global concern to you.
  • If you could live your life fighting for one cause, what would it be and why?
  • Describe a time you did not meet expectations and what impact the experience had on you.
  • What gives meaning to your life?
  • If you wrote a letter to yourself to be opened in 20 years, what would it say?
