Transfer Admissions

Too big. Too small. No campus. No city life. Too close to home. Too far from home. No social life. No time to study. Too academic. Too easy.
Time to transfer? No problem.
Take the Leap

You've decided to transfer to a new college or university. Maybe your dream school didn't end up being the right fit. Maybe you discovered your academic path only to realize that your current college doesn't have a strong program in that area. Or maybe, you started at a community college and are ready to enroll in a four-year institution. Whatever your reason, we're here to help you understand your options, navigate the application process, and find a new path.

Transfer questions? Help is here.

Do I really have to write a new college essay? Can't I just copy and paste the one I wrote in high school?

Tip: Toss your old essay. The prompts for transfer students are different. Keep your new essay upbeat and future-focused.

Transferring is way less competitive, right?

Tip: Acceptance rates for transfer students vary from school to school. Research before you relax.

Will all my credits transfer?
I got an A in boxing!

Tip: Don't assume that all your credits will transfer. Each school has their own policy so ask first.

Will I automatically be
accepted into the
degree program I want?

Are transfer students
eligible for 
financial aid?

Tip: Acceptence into a college doesn't mean entry into the major or degree of your choice. Check the fine print.

Tip: Financial aid, merit scholarships, and grants are available for transfer students. The amount may vary (up or down) from your previous school. Don't forget to fill out FAFSA.
