Planning on Transferring Colleges? 
Here's what you need to know! 

  •  An applicant that does not qualify for the Bachelor's Degree Award, but qualifies for the Associate's Degree Award will need to successfully complete one year at a community college/technical school prior to transferring their scholarship to a university. The student must have a cumulative GPA of a 3.0 or higher after one year, or graduate from a community college/technical school to transfer their scholarship to a Bachelors Award. 

  • You'll need to send a copy of your official transcript to each institution that you have attended. This includes any concurrent/dual credit classes you took while in high school.

  • Add your new institution to your FAFSA. If you have forgotten your FAFSA information, please contact Rebekah Peitz to help you reset it. 

  • If you signed a housing contract, be aware of what the cancellation policies are prior to signing. If you are thinking about transferring, try to make a decision as early as possible to reduce any cancellation fees. 

  • Schedule a meeting with an academic advisor at the institution you are transferring to and ensure that classes you have previously taken will transfer.
