Students who transfer to UGA must follow transfer admissions procedures for the University of Georgia. Transfer applicants do not need to be admitted to the University of Georgia before applying to the Morehead Honors College. However, any offers of Honors acceptance will not be finalized and released until the applicant has received admission to the University of Georgia.

To be eligible for Honors, you must have completed at least 30 hours of transferable credit and must have at least a 3.8 transfer GPA, as calculated by the UGA Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Transfer acceptances will be determined on a space-available basis.

As a transfer student, you must apply to the Morehead Honors College concurrently with your general UGA admissions application, prior to your first term at the University of Georgia. Complete transfer applications must be received no later than 5 pm Eastern Time the following deadlines:

  • Summer semester: March 1
  • Fall semester: March 1
  • Spring semester: August 15

Letter of Recommendation

The Morehead Honors College transfer application requires a letter of recommendation from one of your college instructors. You will be prompted to enter the name and official college/university email address of your recommender when filling out your application in InfoReady. Please be sure to follow the instructions for this portion of the application carefully, and please be mindful that the Morehead Honors College will not contact instructors to obtain a letter of recommendation on your behalf if one is not received by the application due date.

Once a letter of recommendation request is sent from your application, your instructor will receive the request via an email from support@inforeadyreview.com.

Browser Compatibility

Letter writers and applicants should access InfoReady from a desktop computer or laptop rather than a mobile device. InfoReady is most compatible with Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. We encourage any instructors or applicants who are experiencing technical issues while accessing InfoReady from Safari to switch browsers.
