Welcome transfer students!
Have you applied to Metropolitan State University of Denver yet? If not, please visit the Metropolitan State University of Denver Admissions website to apply. You will request that your official transcripts be sent to MSU Denver during the application process.
Once accepted, your transcripts will be evaluated by a Transfer Evaluator. This will generate a transfer evaluation for you showing how your previous coursework will transfer into MSU Denver.
After receiving your transfer evaluation, make an appointment with an advisor in the Office of Social Work Student Services. You can schedule an appointment by calling our Welcome Desk at 303-615-0555 or via your Student Hub.
If you have any difficulty navigating the admissions or transcript evaluation process, please reach out to the Office of Social Work Student Services at [email protected]. Our staff members may be able to help you navigate the process.
For more information on the general transfer process, please visit the Transfer Student website.
Before meeting with an advisor in the Office of Social Work Student Services, we recommend having a complete transfer evaluation. If you’re not ready to transfer yet or haven’t received your official transfer evaluation, we recommend requesting a preliminary transfer credit evaluation. To do so, email [email protected] and include the following information:
