Transfer Students

Transfer Admission

Students who currently attend another college/university and plan to complete a baccalaureate degree in DePaul CDM should complete and submit the transfer application, the $40 application fee ($25 if you apply online) and official transcripts from every college/university attended. Students who have earned fewer than 30 semester (44 quarter) hours of transferable college work at the time of application submission must additionally provide an official high school transcript and an ACT/SAT score report.

All transfer students applying to DePaul University for undergraduate admission are required to have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 (based on transferable credit). In addition, all students must be in good academic standing at the last college/university attended (good academic standing is determined by one’s eligibility to enroll at the last college/university attended.)

Transfer students are strongly encouraged to file an application as soon as possible during the priority filing periods. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, with decisions made as the file becomes complete. Transfer applications will be accepted until the beginning of the term. Applications postmarked during the priority filing periods may have an advantage when space is limited.

• Autumn Quarter (January 1-July 15)
• Winter Quarter (June 1 - November 15)
• Spring Quarter (October 15 - March 15)
• Summer Quarter (February 1 - May 1).

Dual Admission

DePaul CDM has entered into agreements with community colleges allowing admission to both programs simultaneously. Students attend the community college for the first part of their college career with the intention of completing the bachelor’s degree at DePaul CDM, in one of CDM's 14 bachelor degree programs. Admission into a dual admission status allows students to make a smooth move to studies at DePaul CDM.

If you are interested in Dual Admission, contact Mark Mehl, Associate Director of Admission or visit this website, for more information.

DePaul/I.C. Stars Admission Partnerships

In September 2006, DePaul University entered into a special admissions partnership with i.c. stars.  This program offers i.c. stars alumni a personalized admission experience through DePaul CDM or the School for New Learning (SNL). 

DePaul will offer a Partnership Grant that will help cover book expenses for those I.C. Stars alumni who enroll in a degree program. The maximum grant available per year is $1000:  $300 per term for full time students; $75 per class for part time students.
