Guide to the Transfer Process

So, you're in your final semester, and you are ready to take that big step and apply to a four-year college or university. Here are a few things you can do to ensure a smooth transition through the transfer process:

  • Research the colleges/universities you are interested in transferring to on the Web. Many college applications are available to download or you may complete and submit an application online.
  • Fill out the application carefully and be sure to provide all necessary documentation to support your application (i.e. transcripts from high school/college, SAT/ACT if required, letters of recommendation, etc.). Be sure to complete payment of the application fee or completed application fee waiver (if you have been issued one).
  • Complete the application(s) according to the timeline listed on the four-year college's Admission/Application webpage. The earlier you apply, the sooner you will receive decisions and the more time you will have to plan, make a final decision, and get your finances in order.
  • Submit your financial aid paperwork according to the deadlines at each college you plan to attend.
  • Visit each college to which you apply. Make arrangements to attend an open house, college information day, sporting event, overnight visit, etc. This will go a long way to help you to make your final decision.
