Overview of Changing Colleges Within the U of M (Twin Cities)

Advising Students Changing Colleges

Students wanting to change colleges within the UMN TC need to complete the Change of College form, in addition to any college-specific requirements. Information about application deadlines, requirements, admission statistics, and contact information can be found on each college’s website.

The Center for Academic Planning & Exploration (CAPE) has a Change of College Coach who can provide 1-1 guidance for students wishing to change colleges. Students can also connect directly with the colleges via information sessions, 1-1 meetings, or emails (modality varies by college and information on the modality offered is listed on the college’s transfer page). 

CAPE also has great resources for advisors who are working with students who are still exploring majors. Advisors can refer students to CAPE peer coach drop-ins or major exploration coaching if a student is unsure if changing colleges is right for them.
