Transfer to Framingham State University

Complete the FSU Application, pay the non-refundable $50 application fee (waived for MassTransfer and military applicants), and have official transcripts from every college or university you have attended sent directly to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. FSU also needs a final, official high school transcript or GED/HiSET score report. You can apply with courses still in progress. The priority dates are June 1 for fall entry and December 1 for spring entry. See the Transfer Application Guide for every step.

Massachusetts residents transferring to Framingham State with a GPA above 3.0 receive the Transfer Scholarship, a renewable $2,000-a-year award ($1,000 per semester) for full-time enrollment in day courses. All transfer students are also considered for need-based financial aid by completing the FAFSA.

We recommend applying before our priority filing dates; June 1st for fall entry, December 1st for spring entry. You can apply with courses still in progress, no need to wait until final grades are posted.

Once admitted to FSU, you will receive a course-by-course transfer credit evaluation which outlines how your courses will transfer in. This will include any work currently in progress.  

For 2026–2027, Massachusetts residents pay $970 a year in tuition plus $11,620 in mandatory fees, so commuter students pay $12,590 a year and students living on campus pay about $28,830, including housing and a meal plan. More than 90% of FSU students receive financial aid, and the average net cost after grants is $2,290 a year. Visit What FSU Really Costs to learn more.

You will work with an Admissions Counselor throughout the enrollment process. For advising and course registration, students will work directly with the Chair of their academic department.

In order to be reviewed for transfer credit, students are required to submit individual transcripts from each college/university attended.  Transcripts must be official from each school sent directly to FSU Admissions. We do not accept transcripts from students.

No, you have the option to be a commuter student or on-campus resident student.

On-campus resident students are required to purchase a meal plan. If you are not living on campus, you can purchase a commuter meal plan. Learn more about meal plan options. Please note all dining locations on campus accept cash/credit card.

Yes. Resident and commuter students can both bring a car, as long as it displays a valid FSU parking permit. Order your permit online through the parking permit portal once sales open for the year. Every commuter who orders a permit gets one, but resident permits are limited and sold first-come, first-served, so order early. Resident students park in the Union Lot, and commuter students park in the Maple and Salem End lots, with a shuttle from Maple. See the Parking FAQ for permit costs, lot details and ordering dates.
