Your college years play a critical part in your career, life and the person you will become.

We invite you to visit Saint Leo University. Talk to our faculty, tour our beautiful campus. But most importantly, talk to our students. You'll hear a common theme: "The Saint Leo University experience has helped make me a better person."

Am I a Transfer Student?

You are classified as a transfer student if you have previously registered at any other college or university as a matriculated student, regardless of the amount of time spent in attendance or credit earned. If you have earned college credits prior to receiving your high school diploma or equivalent, you are not considered a transfer student.

Students are classified according to the number of credits earned. Listed below are the requirements for the respective classifications:

• Freshman: Fewer than 30 earned credits
• Sophomore: At least 30 and fewer than 60 earned credits
• Junior: At least 60 and fewer than 90 earned credits
• Senior: At least 90 earned credits
• Special: Non-degree-seeking
