在你计划转学的学期前一年申请. Most colleges and universities have application deadlines by which the admission application and all supporting documents (transcripts, 文章, 等.)必须提交. The deadline is often two to five months prior to the start of the term you start, but some schools allow students to apply as late as a few weeks before classes begin. 但不建议等待 – 早期应用! 也要检查一下你的转学学校什么时候需要你的经济援助信息.
