Transfer Students

Circumstances may warrant that a student enrolled in an osteopathic college seeks to transfer to another institution. Credits may be transferred from medical schools and colleges accredited by the American Osteopathic Association or by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) or for other professional schools, if, in the opinion of the dean, these schools have provided coursework comparable to that of the NSU College of Osteopathic Medicine.

Transfer form a college of osteopathic medicine to another shall require that the lat two years of instruction be completed within the college granting the D.O. degree and transfers from an LCME-accredited medical school or college shall require that no less than the last 50 percent of instruction be completed within the College of Osteopathic Medicine.

The applicant must:

  1. Complete an online application to the NSU College of Osteopathic Medicine.
  2. Meet all admission requirements to NSU College of Osteopathic Medicine, which include submitting official transcripts of all college work (including osteopathic transcripts), MCAT scores, National Board scores, if taken, and letters of evaluation. No applicant will be accepted without an interview.
  3. Be in good standing at the transferring institution, as documented by a letter from the Dean of the transferring institution.
  4. Supply one letter of recommendation from a faculty member of the transferring medical school.

Decisions on transfer applications are made by the Dean. The decision will be based on factors which include, but are not limited to: academic record, circumstances leading to the transfer request, available space, and admission standards.

To initiate the process for a transfer, please send a letter stating the reasons for requesting a transfer to:
