Transfer Students - Fall Semester

Transfer students can register for courses by choosing one of the following options:

Option 1:

The first way to complete the orientation/registration process is by visiting campus and completing the Transfer Student Checklist (included in the Orientation/Registration information we mailed you) on your own. This option requires you to spend one weekday on campus between late April and mid August. You cannot complete this option over the phone. You MUST come to campus. To register for this option, please mark "Option 1" on the registration card you were sent in the mail and return it to the Orientation Office. Then, complete each step on the checklist in the order listed. In order for your orientation/registration to be considered complete, you are responsible for each item on the checklist.

Option 2:

The second way to complete the orientation/registration process is to attend the Transfer Student Orientation Program on Wednesday, August 22. To register for this option, please mark "Option 2" on the registration card and return it to the Orientation Office. We will mail detailed information about this option to you upon receipt of your completed registration card.
