This section outlines admissions policies and procedures at South Dakota State University. The South Dakota State University Policy and Procedure Manual is the definitive source for the most current South Dakota State University policies. Policies duplicated on other websites or in print may not be the most current version. All policies documented on the site are official and supersede policies located elsewhere. South Dakota State University is governed by state and federal law, administrative regulations, and policies of the South Dakota Board of Regents (SDBOR) and the State of South Dakota.
Application Procedures
The SDSU Admissions Office processes applications on a rolling basis. Students are encouraged to apply well in advance (six to ten months) of the semester they wish to attend in order to arrange housing, apply for financial assistance, and to attend new student orientation/early registration programs.
All applicants must submit the following to be considered for admission:
- SDSU General Admission Application or SDBOR Fast Track Application (if eligible)
- $25 Application Fee
If you have previously attended a South Dakota public university as a degree-seeking student within one year prior to the term of application, have been called into active duty with the military, or will be a non-degree seeking applicant, you are not required to pay the application fee to SDSU.
- Official High School Transcript
Prospective students who have graduated high school or obtained their GED less than five years prior to their application date must submit official high school transcripts or GED transcripts to the institution. If a prospective student has graduated from high school or obtained their GED more than five years prior to their application date, they may submit either official high school transcripts or GED transcripts, or may submit an affidavit of successful completion.
In addition, all transfer applicants must provide:
- Official Post-Secondary Transcript(s)
You must request official transcripts from all non-South Dakota Board of Regents schools you have previously attended. You do not need to have transcripts sent from other SD Regental universities. All transcripts should be sent from the issuing institution directly to the SDSU Admissions Office. If you are currently enrolled at another institution, you may send partial transcripts and be considered for provisional admission until the final transcript arrives.
Prior to or during the first term of enrollment:
- Degree-seeking students, who do not have an associate or bachelor’s degree completed, must have a final official transcript on file showing the completion of a high school diploma or equivalent.
- Degree-seeking students, who have completed post-secondary coursework, must have final official* transcript(s) on file showing the completion of any courses taken prior to enrollment at SDSU.
* Official transcripts must be sent through a secured transcript exchange service used by your institution or by postal mail sent directly from your institution to SDSU.
SDSU is a test optional institution meaning that ACT or SAT scores are not required as part of the admission process. However, we do encourage students to submit scores if they have completed either test to be used in instances of conditional admission decisions, for scholarship purposes, and course placement where test scores may benefit a student.
Upon admission to the University and prior to enrolling for classes, all new students must comply with SDBOR Policy 2.2.1.2, General Admission Immunization Requirements. Documentation regarding immunizations from the student must be submitted within 45 days after the start of classes. Students may request a waiver and/or an exemption for the immunization requirements through the university’s student health clinic. If granted, the waiver will not extend to third party organizations, including clinical sites. Furthermore, all international students are required to submit to a tuberculosis skin test upon arrival. For more information contact Student Health Clinic Services or the Office of International Student and Scholar Engagement.

Students must meet admission requirements outlined in SDBOR Policy 2.2.1.6.A for each program.
Regental Policy for Seamless Transfer of Credit
(SDBOR Policy 2.2.2.1)
The purpose of the policy is to outline flexible pathways for students to transfer among institutions within and from outside the Regental system to enable their opportunities for success.
The goal of transfer credit decisions, regardless of whether the credits were completed at an accredited institution, is to ensure that all degree-seeking students have met the same (or appropriately similar) curricular requirements upon graduation.
When evaluating transfer requests, the institution will consider the accreditation status of the sending institution as well as whether the academic program, level of study, and course content are similar in nature and applicable to the academic program of the receiving institution.
Grading schemes inconsistent with the Regental system grading scheme will be converted to the Regental equivalent.
Credit is only applied once per course per degree on a semester credit system; any course taken multiple times will be treated according to the Regental system repeat policy.
Credit for prior coursework is evaluated for transfer based on the following policies. The policies are established to meet specific student needs.
Minimum institutional credit requirements to earn an academic credential (certificate or degree) are identified in SDBOR Policy 2.6.1. All other credits beyond the required threshold are eligible to be satisfied through transfer credit.
There may be a need to request waivers for programming and student needs. Students should contact their advisor for guidance on the appropriate process.
South Dakota Regental System Transfer of Credit
(SDBOR Policy 2.2.2.2)
The Board of Regents governing the six public universities has established a common course catalog and common transcript to ensure that a Regental student can seamlessly transfer within the Regental system. All Regental coursework, credit hours and grades are recorded on the student’s transcript.
General Education Transfer and Common Course Transfer within the Regental System
- Students who complete the System General Education Requirements (SDBOR Policy 2.3.7) at any Regental institution will have fulfilled the System General Education Requirements for their degree program. The completion of the requirements will internally transfer with the courses, credit hours and grades assigned regardless of the course distributions or approved course lists.
- A student who has not completed all System General Education requirements at the sending institution will be required to complete additional coursework consistent with the course requirements at the receiving South Dakota Regental institution.
- Students who complete system common courses will internally transfer with the courses, credit hours and grades assigned regardless of the Regental institution.
- All prerequisites for associate and baccalaureate programs must be completed as determined by the student’s degree plan.
Major Specific, Validated, and Elective Transfer
- Students completing an internal transfer within the Regental system can request that program/major related, validated credits, and elective credits be applied toward the degree/graduation requirements (see SDBOR Policy 2.6.1 for graduation requirements).
- Credits earned through Pass/Fail grading options, credit-by-examinations, portfolio reviews, and other validated credit awards that may be known by other names at institutions will transfer as equivalent courses when available at the receiving institution.
- Students needing information on minor and dual majors requirements shall review SDBOR Policy 2.3.2 (for transfer purposes).
External (Non-Regental System) Accredited University/College Transfer of Credit
(SDBOR Policy 2.2.2.3; SDBOR Academic Affairs Guidelines 2.2.2.1.A)

Program-to-Program Transfer by Articulation Agreements
- Universities may enter into a program-to-program articulation agreement with the approval of the Executive Director, or designee, and the Board of Regents.
- A program-to-program agreement may provide for proactive/guaranteed admission to the receiving institution upon a student completing the requirements at the sending institution. (i.e., Associates to Bachelors [A2B] where the first two years are completed at a non-baccalaureate institution [AS degree] toward the receiving institution’s baccalaureate degree).
- A program-to-program agreement will define the requirements of the program, major emphasis, credit hours received and a pathway to degree attainment.
- Approved transfer courses, grades, and credits hours are recorded on the transcript.
Reverse Transfer
- Universities may enter into an articulation agreement for reverse transfer with the approval of the Board of Regents.
- Reverse transfer is utilized primarily for attainment of degrees through credits earned at the receiving institution and degree awarded by the sending institution. This reverse transfer can be utilized for any academic credential as defined by the agreement.
Graduate Program Major Specific and Elective Transfer

Students should contact their academic advisor with questions about articulated courses.
Admission of International Students on Nonimmigrant Visas
SDSU provides educational opportunities for students from abroad and has traditionally enrolled students from over 80 different countries.
To be considered for admission, an international student must submit:
- Admissions Application
- Official or unofficial academic transcripts for all secondary and postsecondary education
- Official report of academic English language proficiency
- Application fee of US $25.00
International students generally need to have a minimum secondary grade point average of 2.6 (on a 4.00 grading scale) or have the equivalent of a B average in the U.S. System, or college transfer grade point average of a 2.0 or higher. Transfer students from academic programs at other U.S. institutions must have completed at least 24 consecutive semester credits (36 quarter credits) at a single institution.
SDSU requires a minimum score submission from non-native English speakers of 3.5 TOEFL iBT, 44 Pearson PTE, 5.5 IELTS, or 90 Duolingo. SDSU also provides a list of waiver countries that are considered to be native English speakers and a comprehensive list of acceptable proof of language proficiency.
International students may not be conditionally admitted to the university and must receive full admission.
International students who have been admitted will need to provide a Financial Certification Form and supporting financial documentation to allow SDSU to issue Form I-20 for the visa application process.
International students are required to purchase and maintain university approved health insurance for themselves and their dependents for the duration of their enrollment at SDSU.
SDSU regrets that it is unable to offer financial aid such as tuition waivers to international students. Applicants must, therefore, show clear evidence of adequate resources for financing their program of study.
SDSU reserves the right to require advance deposits of estimated tuition, fees, and living expenses when warranted by prevailing foreign exchange difficulties.
Applicants outside of the U.S. must complete applications and submit documentation by July 1 to be considered for fall admission and December 1 for spring admission. Applications not meeting the deadline requirement for one semester will remain active and considered for the following semester when completed. Contact the Office of Graduate and International Admissions for the application packet and further information.
Policy for Transfer of International Undergraduate Credit
College level and advanced secondary level courses taken at international institutions will be evaluated for transfer consideration by an independent credential evaluation service. Students who have been accepted to South Dakota State University and have attended colleges or universities outside the United States must provide South Dakota State University with a course-by-course evaluation and official university transcript. South Dakota State University considers evaluations from World Educations Services, Inc (WES) to be more accurate than other evaluation services. We also recommend the WES International Credential Advantage (ICAP) package, as the included transcripts are considered official. Course-by-course evaluations submitted from other NACES member approved evaluation service will be accepted. A syllabus from the international institution is required to determine equivalency. For those international institutions that have an articulation agreement with SDSU, the agreement determines the courses that transfer full credit.
The Board of Regents governing the six public universities has established a policy on the transfer of credits from non-accredited external universities and colleges and international transfer. This policy shall only include those sending institutions that are nonaccredited institutions or international institutions. Refer to the section above regarding External (Non-Regental System) Non-Accredited University/College and International Transfer of Credit (SDBOR Policy 2.2.2.4).
Non-Native Speakers of English
All international non-native English speaking (NNES) undergraduate students entering South Dakota State University will have the opportunity to take the Accuplacer Exam for placement into the appropriate English writing courses.
- In accordance with policies mandated for domestic students, international NNES undergraduate students will have the opportunity to take the Accuplacer exams to enter ENGL 101.
- All international NNES undergraduate students who do not meet minimum Accuplacer scores (263) required for ENGL 101 will enroll in ENGL 013 English as a Second Language: More Complex Structural Patterns and Advanced Composition or ENGL 039 English as a Second Language (Advanced ESL remedial writing 2).
- No student shall enter ENGL 101 without successful completion of ENGL 039 or required Accuplacer scores.
Testing will be conducted prior to enrollment. Results will be used to determine whether a student needs to complete one or more support courses in English as a Second Language in addition to regular academic classes. The courses are designed to better prepare students for their academic program in general as well as for the English core curricula required of all entering students.
Further information regarding English placement requirements may be obtained from the Testing Center.
Residency Requirements
In accordance with South Dakota Codified Law and Board of Regents Policy, establishment of resident status hinges on the following criteria:
- Location of permanent residence within the borders of South Dakota
- Purpose for reasons other than pursuit of higher education
- Time span of 12 or more consecutive months which immediately precedes the first scheduled day of classes for the first term of post-secondary study
Qualifications for residency for tuition purposes may be obtained by visiting the University website (keywords: residency requirements) or by contacting the SDSU Admissions Office at 605-688-4121.
