Advanced Standing Applications/Transfer

St. George’s University School of Veterinary Medicine admits students to begin in the first year of our four-year program. In rare circumstances, we may review transfer applications from students who have completed less than or equal to two years of study. Transfer opportunities are not guaranteed and considered on a case-by-case basis. Admitted transfer students may be required to repeat one or two terms in order to align their previous coursework with the SGUSVM curriculum. Initial review of all transfer student applications is performed by the Office of Admissions, and if all eligibility requirements are met, the application will be sent to the Chair of the FSSC, who will review the application in conjunction with the Associate/Assistant Dean of Academics to make a final determination.

Eligibility requirements for transfer consideration include:

  • Have successfully completed at least one year (two semesters) of the veterinary curriculum at an AVMA-accredited veterinary school.
  • Be in good academic standing, without any academic warnings, probation, or dismissal records.

Application Process: Prospective transfer applicants should send an email to: VetAdmission@sgu.edu for further information.
