Transferring to FAMU has never been easier. Review transfer requirements and deadlines, as well all documents you will need to submit to campus departments. 

Transfer Student Orientation is a one-day information based program designed to ensure you have completed all the onboarding steps before you get advised.

Students who transfer to FAMU prior to earning their Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree may request to have their A.A. degree awarded to them from their previous Florida College System institution. Students must meet all lower level/general education requirements, have completed at least 30 credits at FAMU and have a 2.0 gpa or higher.  To request to have the A.A. degree awarded, students may contact transfer@famu.edu with their name, student id number, and the Florida College System institution they previously attended.

FAMU currently has articulation agreements with twenty-two (22) Florida College System institutions throughout Florida.
