Applying For Transfer Admission Application for admission is always the first step in transferring. Students should fill out the application as early as possible prior to the deadline and enclose the application fee. Students should request that official transcripts be sent from every institution they have attended. They might be required to provide high school transcripts or GED test scores as well. Students should recheck to be certain they supplied the college or university with all the necessary paperwork.
Most colleges make no decisions until all required documents are in the student's file.
If students have heard nothing from the intended college of transfer after one month, they should call to check on the status of their application. After notification from the college of acceptance for admission and after a major has been declared, a Transfer of Credit Petition form must be completed by the student with the help of a counselor or advisor. Transcripted credits will be evaluated for transfer by the Registrar. A written evaluation should tell which courses transfer and which do not. Students with questions about the evaluation should call the Registrar or the Office of Admissions and ask to speak with a credit evaluator.
