Changes to the Bulletin after October 30, 2025
Admission of Transfer Students - updated 11-18-2025
A transfer student is one who has attended another post-secondary institution after graduating high school/GED, regardless of the number of credits completed. Students in good standing from regionally accredited two-year or four-year colleges will be considered for admission.
Candidates applying as transfer students are responsible for having the following documents sent to the university:
- The completed university application form;
- Official transcripts from each college and university attended; and
- The official high school transcript, when requested.
Please forward official transcripts electronically to operations@dom.edu.
In order to be considered official, transcripts must be sent to Dominican (DU) from the issuing institution(s). Many schools utilize third-party services - such as Parchment, the National Student Clearinghouse, or the Common App - to send transcripts directly to DU. However, if prompted when ordering, institutions can also send transcripts to DU via email (operations@dom.edu) or mail:
