Prospective Student Advising

The School of Kinesiology welcomes transfer students from other schools on campus. Students who have transferred to Kinesiology love the close-knit environment within Kinesiology. Our professors are accessible and engaging. Our advising staff is passionate about student success, and your peers in Kinesiology will challenge and support you every step of the way.

Cross-campus students are those who have completed college coursework on the Ann Arbor campus. Students are not eligible to cross-campus transfer until their sophomore year. For example, an incoming freshman for Fall 2012 can first apply to cross-campus transfer to the School of Kinesiology for the Fall 2013 semester.

Want to learn more about cross-campus transferring into the School of Kinesiology? Attend one of our Cross-Campus Information Sessions! Check our schedule for dates and times.
