Applying to the School of Business as a Transfer Student

If you are transferring to Eastern Illinois University and want to pursue a business major, indicate your intended major on your application to EIU.

If you already have met the School of Business Admission Requirements at the time that you apply to EIU, no separate application is needed for the School of Business. You will automatically be considered for admission to the School of Business.

If you have not fully met the School of Business admission requirements at the time that you apply to EIU but will meet the Admission Requirements at the end of that semester, your application to EIU will serve as your application for conditional admission to the School of Business. However, you must submit updated official transcripts from your transfer institution immediately after completing those courses to be considered for full admission to the School of Business.

If you do not meet the School of Business admission requirements at the time that you apply to EIU, you will be classified as a pre-business student if you are admitted to Eastern Illinois University. You may apply for admission to the School of Business at a later date when you meet the admission requirements.

For more information, visit our Transferring to the School of Business at EIU page.

Admission Status

You will receive a letter notifying you of your admission status.

You will be granted full admission if you meet all admission requirements at the time of application.

You will be granted conditional admission if you meet the application criteria but are currently enrolled in one or more of the tool courses and/or you are currently enrolled in courses that will complete the required 60 hours. Upon completion of these requirements you will be granted full admission.

Conditional admission allows you to register for upper-division business courses during the pre-registration period for the semester for which you requested admission. Before registering, you must meet with your academic advisor to plan your schedule.

If you are granted conditional admission, you must complete all of the admission requirements prior to the semester for which you requested admission or your conditional admission will be revoked.

Conditionally admitted students who do not complete the admission requirements continue to be classified as pre-business students and must submit a new application for admission to the School of Business.

Students denied admission may appeal to the School of Business Committee on Admissions. Decisions of the Committee on Admissions are final.
