Transferring from another UIC college

Nutrition Science Program
We admit students into the nutrition science program if they are working on their prerequisite courses. Please note that this does NOT guarantee acceptance into the DPD nutrition science option (for students who wish to become a registered dietitian). This will still require an inter-program application after completing the prerequisite courses. The director of the nutrition science program will advise and assist with this process. Students are welcome to apply for spring or fall admission.

There is no minimum credit nor minimum GPA requirement for this option.

Nutrition Science (DPD) or BS Coordinated Program

• 60 semester hours (or 90 quarter hours) of acceptable academic credit
• Minimum GPA of 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale) for science and prerequisite courses
• Prerequisite courses (listed on the Before You Apply page)

Ready to apply? Don’t worry, we’ll make this easy.

Applications for the nutrition science program are accepted for both the spring and fall semesters. The spring application deadline is November 1, and the fall application deadline is January 15.

The BS coordinated program is fall acceptance only, with an application deadline of January 15.

• Intercollege transfer information form
• Prerequisite form
• Two letters of recommendation (coordinated program only)
• Written interview questions (coordinated program only)
• Transcripts (optional)

Complete the intercollege transfer application form.

Complete the prerequisite form, listing where and when each course was taken. For courses you haven’t completed, show where and when you plan to take them before enrolling.

You will find the prerequisite form in the application, with a link to upload it.

If you’re applying to the coordinated program, submit two letters of recommendation in support of your application, preferably from academic sources.

If you’re applying to the coordinated program, answer the written interview questions and submit your answers with your application. You will find the written interview questions document in the application, with a link to upload it.

If you have attended other institutions since enrolling at UIC, submit transcripts from each university and college attended, even if you only took one course there. These must include all coursework through the current fall semester.

Request that the registrar at each school you have attended send a copy of your transcript directly to the University of Illinois at Chicago, Office of Admissions and Records (MC 018), Box 5220, Chicago, Illinois 60680-5220

Submit a transcript for any course work completed after your application is submitted. This is required even if the courses do not satisfy program prerequisites. To determine your cumulative grade point average, course work completed during the most recent term will be included. Be sure to request the most recent term completed.

You’ll receive a decision by email or mail sometime between March and April for fall admissions and November and December for spring admissions.

Unfortunately, we can’t accept everyone. If you’ve been denied, you’ll be able to put your name on a waitlist.
