    Transfer Successfully

    There are many things to consider when planning on transferring to another institution to complete your education goals. Transferring is a different process than applying as a high school student.

    Steps to a Successful College Transfer Video Transcript

    Here are a few tips and things to consider:

    • What are the school's application deadlines?
    • What is the cost of the application?
    • Do you need to send only UNG transcripts or do you also need high school transcripts?
    • Make sure you have UNG and all other institutions send your transcripts or scores directly.  DO NOT have them send to you first.
    • Do you need letters of recommendation?
    • Is there a separate application for the institution and your major?  Are there separate deadlines?
    • Financial Aid does not automatically follow you.  Contact the school's Financial Aid Office directly to insure proper transfer of your financial aid.
    • Meet with your academic advisor to stay on track with course selection and planning. 
    • "Work backwards."  Have the mindset of "If I was enrolled at my new institution today, what classes would I be taking?  Where would I be in my career planning?"
    • Get to know these terms:
      • residency requirement
      • articulation agreement
      • transferable GPA
    • STAY ORGANIZED!  Keep track of deadlines, paperwork, and contacts.  Make sure to keep a record of the people you speak with at each institution.
    • Ask questions!  We are here to help!
