Transfer Applicants

Students who have completed a portion of the curriculum at another approved school of veterinary medicine may apply for admission with advanced standing. Such transfer applicants must present evidence of completion of courses (or their equivalent) at a school of veterinary medicine accredited by the AVMA, comparable to those offered in the Pre-clinical Curriculum of Ross University.  Additionally, transfer students must meet all the requirements for admission to Ross University; namely they should have earned a bachelor’s degree or equivalent from an American, Canadian, or other international recognized college or university. Occasionally applicants qualify for admission upon completion of 90 credits (ie, three fulltime years) of post-secondary studies.

Placement at Ross University is determined by the Academic Promotions Committee and the Dean, and will depend on the courses already completed.  Credit will not, however, be given for more than the first four semesters of study. Transfer students must take all the courses offered for the semester they are admitted and may be required to repeat part or all of the curriculum. All transfer students must spend a minimum of seven semesters of study enrolled at Ross University.

Pre-requisites for Transfer Applicants

For candidates who have not successfully completed the basic sciences, the level of placement in the curriculum will be determined by the Admissions Committee in consultation with the Promotions Committee.
