How to Apply as a Transfer Student

Students who have attempted postsecondary college credit(s), following high school graduation or after receiving a GED, are considered transfer students. The Office of Admissions works closely with transfer students to help make your transition to Castleton as easy as possible. There are many excellent opportunities at Castleton for you to complete your degree, and we are excited to work with you!

We Welcome Your Application!

We are accepting applications for 2023 and look forward to working with you!

Castleton is becoming Vermont State University in July 2023. Applications for Fall 2023 (beginning August 2023) are open and available now.  

Apply for Fall 2023! 

We are accepting applications to Castleton on a rolling basis for the Spring 2023 term (beginning this January 2023). 

Apply for Spring 2023!

Track Your Castleton Application

After you apply, we will email you a personal link to your Application Status Page, where you will be able to track your application. Please ensure we always have your most up-to-date email address on file! 

Rolling Admission

Castleton encourages students to apply early, to provide the best opportunity for informed decision-making and financial aid. Applications are encouraged on a rolling basis and decisions for both fall and spring semesters are rolling. Castleton does not have an application deadline, yet we encourage careful attention to aid, scholarship, and enrollment deadlines.

Great Scholarships Available

With specific scholarships available for transfer students, including up to $17,000 for qualifying students, Castleton makes continuing your education accessible and affordable. 

Application Review

Our application review begins in September for spring semester enrollment (semester beginning in January) and late November for fall semester enrollment (semester beginning at the end of August). All decisions are notified via email on a rolling basis. When your application and all required materials are submitted, we intend to send you notification of our decision within 7-10 business days. Some applications require further information beyond the general application. These instances include application to the following departments:

  • Music Performance and Music Education (audition required)
  • Nursing Program applicants may require additional faculty review time

Transfer Credit Evaluation

The Preliminary Transfer Evaluation is completed by the Registrar’s Office to the student once the student has been accepted for admission. Notification is sent to the student from the Registrar’s Office when credits have been evaluated, and students can then access this information on their Castleton portal.

For more detailed information, please see information for Evaluation of Transfer Credit within our academic catalogs. For questions regarding transfer credit evaluation, please contact the Registrar’s Office through the Financial & Registration Services Office at (802) 468-6070.
