51ÂÜÀò to Transfer
51ÂÜÀòing to transfer is one of the most important steps in the transfer process. REMEMBER: You will begin the application process a year prior to your intended transfer term. For example, if you plan to begin at the university in the fall semester, you will
need to apply the prior fall semester. It’s important to be informed of the application
deadlines, particularly when applying to selective programs and institutions. Private
universities often have flexible application dates and you may apply a semester before
you transfer.
