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.
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?"

STAY ORGANIZED! Keep track of deadlines, paperwork, and contacts. Make sure to keep a record of the people you speak with at each institution.
