Guidelines for Students
Considering Transfer into the DVM Curriculum:
The School of Veterinary Medicine will consider all transfer requests
on a case-by-case basis subject to availability of space, the reason
for requesting transfer, the quality of the applicant, and what the
applicant would bring to the LSU program in terms of educational,
cultural, ethnic, and geographical diversity. Transfer into the most
appropriate semester of the curriculum will be considered based on
how the curriculum of the school that the student is transferring
from fits into our curricular template. In general, qualified Louisiana
residents will be given preference.
