51ÂÜÀò to Transfer

a clock on top of fall leaves
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.
