Federal Stafford Loans are government-secured loans available to undergraduate and graduate students at very low rates. There is no collateral or credit check required, and payments are delayed until you graduate or cease being enrolled at least half-time based on your institution's definition.
Federal subsidized Stafford Loans are low-interest loans made available to eligible students from lending institutions to assist in paying educational expenses. Students who do not qualify for a full federal subsidized Stafford Loan may receive an unsubsidized loan under the Federal Stafford Loan Program. The government will not pay the interest on an unsubsidized Stafford Loan.
Transfer students are defined as students whose high school graduating class has graduated from high school, and the student has subsequently enrolled in college courses. Students who have completed college work and apply for admission prior to their graduating class completing high school will be evaulated as "new freshman with college credit", as designated on Part 2 of the admissions application. This designation applies to admission, scholarships, and registration, regardless of the number of college hours completed. The following indicates the two types of transfer applicants and how they should apply:
Transfer applicant with fewer than 28 semester (42 quarter) credit hours completed at the time of application: High school transcripts, ACT/SAT scores, and college transcripts are required for admission and scholarship purposes.
Transfer applicant with 28 or more semester (42 quarter) credits: College transcripts (not high school transcripts or ACT/SAT) are required for admission and scholarship purposes. Credit earned through Advanced Placement or other special exams will not used in calculating the 28 semester hours.
To be competitive for admission, please adhere to the following recommendations:
Be living in harmony with the BYU Honor Code and the BYU Dress and Grooming Standards.
Earn a transfer GPA above the B+ range. The higher your transfer GPA is, the more likely you are to be admitted. To compete for academic scholarships, your transfer GPA should be in the A range.
Take approximately 50 percent of your classes in general education subjects, including English, mathematics, physical and biological sciences, social sciences, foreign language, and humanities.
Attend LDS Institute of Religion classes where available.
Most GE classes transfer to BYU. After you are admitted, you will be able to view MyMap, which shows how your credits transferred to BYU and if any university core requirements were filled.
Prior to that time, you may visit transfer.byu.edu and see if your college has a transfer guide with BYU. If your college is not listed, please contact our Transfer Evaluation Office at (801) 422-8522 or transfer@byu.edu.
