To transfer to the University of New Orleans, you should apply for admission at least one semester before you wish to enroll. You'll need to submit your application fee as well as complete, official transcripts from each college and university you have attended. If you are enrolled at another college when you apply, follow up with final records at the close of the semester.

The Office of Admissions will evaluate your academic work taken at other institutions for general university purposes. Once all of your official transcripts are received and credits are evaluated, you may view your transfer credit summary in WebStar under Learner Services. The dean of your major college will determine which credits will be accepted towards your UNO degree.
