Transfer Students: Apply
Southwestern evaluates all candidates in a comprehensive way using multiple factors to help us reach our admission decisions. Interested students should complete and submit The Common Application for Transfer Students by the posted deadlines.
We do not require application supplements, but do, however, encourage the optional Instructor Recommendation and Parent/ Guardian Recommendation forms.
For questions about the application process or transfer student admission in general, please contact Gail Roberson, Associate Director of Admission, at (800) 252-3166.
