Transfer Student FAQs

What are MSOE’s requirements for acceptance?
We review your cumulative college GPA when making acceptance decisions. Below are GPA requirements for each field:

     Nursing                                 3.0 cumulative GPA
     Business                               2.75 cumulative GPA
     Engineering                           3.0 cumulative GPA
     Engineering Technology          2.75 cumulative GPA


Now that I have been accepted to MSOE, is there another application process to get into nursing clinicals or any other program?
When you are accepted to MSOE, you are also directly accepted into your program. No further application is required, and there are no waiting lists.

Do you offer any scholarships?
Yes. Part of your entire scholarship package may include academic scholarships ranging from $6,000 to $10,000 per year based on cumulative GPA. For more scholarship information, visit the Student Financial Services scholarship page.

Is there any financial aid available?
Yes. Financial aid is available by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Scholarships, grants, loans and work-study are all forms of financial aid you may receive. For more information, visit our Financial Aid Office.

Do I have to send a transcript from all colleges I attended or just the last college attended?
Students are required to send official transcripts from all colleges attended. Transcripts must be received before your application can be considered complete.

How do I know which classes will transfer?
For a preliminary view of which classes will transfer visit our online transfer manual. After your acceptance to MSOE, official credit evaluations will be determined by the program director in your major and will be mailed to you. This process can take up to four weeks.

Do I have to live on campus?
Transfer students are not required to live on campus. If you would like to live on campus, visit our housing department. You can also check our off-campus apartment guide.

Is parking available?
We have student parking around the campus area. Visit the Public Safety website for parking details. 

What is the technology package?
MSOE requires all full-time undergraduate students to participate in our notebook computer program. We provide you with a laptop and many benefits like state-of-the-art software, compatibility, support, insurance and more! For details including the latest computer specs, take a look at our laptop program.

When do classes start? When are breaks?
Visit the online academic calendar for all important dates.

How do I know which classes to take when I begin at MSOE?
Once you have submitted your non-refundable $175 enrollment deposit, your academic advisor will compile your first-quarter schedule and send it to you. Registration for the Fall Quarter begins in June.
