Transfer Student Tips
Meet with Advisors
Schedule an appointment to meet with your advisors as soon as possible. They can assist with college transfer requirements, your class schedule and point out key courses you should be enrolling in.
Understand Financial Changes
Research tuition, fees, and other expenses at your new school. At some institutions there are college transfer scholarships, grants, loans, and financial aid available specifically for transfer students.
Transferring College Credits
When you meet with your advisor be sure to ask about transfer credit. Some of your classes and credits may not transfer to your new school.
Schedule a Campus Tour
Visiting a school is the best way to learn if it is the right fit for you. See what sets the campus apart from others. Many universities even offer virtual tours.
Enroll in Orientation
Even though this isn’t your first college experience it is important to attend orientation. You’ll learn the campus culture and traditions and meet with advisors. This is also a great opportunity to meet friends!
Have a plan for move in day
If you’ve been assigned a move-in time, be on time and prepared. Are there elevators, or only stairs? Will there be anyone to help, or are you on your own? These are some questions you might want to answer ahead of time. Remember to plan for a long day – bring some snacks, water, and cleaning supplies if you can.
