As a fellow institution of higher education, the ÖíÖíapp 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 ÖíÖíapp 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 University of Alabama, The University of Alabama at Birmingham and The University of Alabama 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 University of Alabama: Jim Landers,
The University of Alabama at Birmingham: Bradley Barnes,
The University of Alabama in Huntsville: Chris Pinto,
