Charger Status Account

A Charger Status account allows you to access our application, check on your admission status, register for important events, and receive financial aid information. If you don’t have an account, go to the “Create Account” option seen below the “Log In” header to get started.

How to Apply

We aim to make our admission process as easy and straightforward as possible. Because UAH offers rolling admissions, we don’t have admission application deadlines. Transfer students should have their official college transcripts and relevant test scores ready to submit when applying. We require a nonrefundable application fee of $40.

Meet Academic Requirements

Here are the following academic standards and admissions requirements for transfer applicants:

Complete Your Application

All applications are sent through your Charger Status account. Here are some more important things you can do with this account in addition to applying for admission and checking your application status:

Submit Offical Transcripts

Here are the following required documents transfer applicants must submit for admission consideration:

Send Test Scores

If you have fewer than 24 academic credit hours, you will be required to submit official ACT or SAT scores to the Office of Admissions. Official ACT or SAT scores should be sent directly to UAH by the testing agency.

As a transfer student, I knew I needed to go to a school that felt like home with a tight-knit community. I love being a Charger and could not imagine anything else!

How to Review Your Transfer Credits

Please note: Your official credit evaluation does not take place until after you have been admitted. Once your credit has been evaluated, you can review its status on your Academic Transcript through my.uah.edu.

For those of you want to get a head start before admission, utilize our transfer credit estimator to gain a better understanding of how your credit will transfer to UAH.

We accept credits from regionally accredited institutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the most common transfer application questions we get from our students.

Can I apply with fewer than 24 credit hours?

Yes, you can apply, but there are stipulations. Please refer to our admission requirements section above and review our high school transcript and test score sections.

I want to take classes for one semester. Do I apply as a transfer?

If you’re enrolled at a another college and want to take classes as a visitor for one semester, you will apply as a non-degree student, not a transfer.

I used to go to UAH and want to return. Do I apply as a transfer?

We welcome former Chargers to continue at UAH. You can start your application as a readmit, not a transfer.

How do I apply to get a second bachelor’s degree?

When you complete your application, you will select “Transfer” as your student type and “Second Bachelor” as your admission type. For more information, see our Second Bachelor Application page.

Do I need to submit ALL previous transcripts?

Yes. Transfer students are required to submit official transcripts from every institution attended, regardless of length of attendance or credits earned. An application for admission will not be evaluated until all documents have been received.

How will I know when my transcript has been received?

You can see if your transcripts have been received through your Charger Status account. The supplemental items checklist displays all items needed for admission consideration and indicates what items have and have not been received.
