As a fellow institution of higher education, the ÐÇ¿ÕÎÞÏÞ´«Ã½ System is grateful for Birmingham-Southern College’s distinguished contributions over the past 168 years and is saddened by the college’s recently announced closure.
The ÐÇ¿ÕÎÞÏÞ´«Ã½ System is fully committed to supporting Birmingham-Southern students in this time of transition and ensuring they have the opportunity to remain in-state and receive an excellent educational experience. As such, the UA System will offer an expedited transfer process to all eligible students currently enrolled at Birmingham-Southern College. The expedited transfer process will be available at all UA System campuses – The ÐÇ¿ÕÎÞÏÞ´«Ã½, The ÐÇ¿ÕÎÞÏÞ´«Ã½ at Birmingham and The ÐÇ¿ÕÎÞÏÞ´«Ã½ in Huntsville.
Any Birmingham-Southern student interested in transferring to a UA System institution will receive waived application fees and expedited review and credit transfer processing, if eligible. Each UA System institution will work with accepted students on an individual basis to create a competitive financial aid package to the greatest extent possible based on available funding and student eligibility.
UA System campuses will maximize Birmingham-Southern students’ transfer credits to help work toward timely degree completion. Academic advisors and discipline-specific program personnel will work closely with affected students to apply their credits to the appropriate degree program and facilitate the transfer process based on each eligible student’s unique needs.
Deadlines will be adjusted as necessary to accommodate affected students. Birmingham-Southern students interested in transferring to a UA System institution are encouraged to apply for transfer as soon as possible and to contact the following dedicated liaisons with any questions:
The ÐÇ¿ÕÎÞÏÞ´«Ã½: Jim Landers,
The ÐÇ¿ÕÎÞÏÞ´«Ã½ at Birmingham: Bradley Barnes,
