Transfer students may not need to repeat courses they took elsewhere.
One of the major advantages of going to a community college is that courses you take at the college can be considered exactly the same as courses at a regular university. Because of this, many students will go to another university and have their classes counted as if they took them at the university. This is known as transferring to a university.
Instructions
1. Apply to different universities using their applications. Many universities let you apply online to their programs, however, some still use a mail-in application. Be sure to specify that you are applying as a transfer student. Contact your university to determine the proper way to apply. Be sure to list your school/college history in the application. Wait for further information to be sent to you from the universities before proceeding to the next step.
2. Request copies of official transcripts from each school you went to. Universities will ask to see official transcripts before making an acceptance decision. Be sure to have the colleges or schools mail the transcripts directly to the address given in the information the university sends to you. While waiting for acceptance letters, start thinking about which schools you want to go to more than others.
3. Choose the college you want to go to from the colleges that offer you admission into their program. Typically, this is done by visiting a website listed on the acceptance letter or mailing in a form that comes with the letter.
4. Mail the official transcript from the current college or school you are attending after your final grades have posted. Send it to the address listed in the acceptance letter from the university you decided to attend, or to a different address if they provide one.
5. Set up an appointment with a counselor at your university to determine what classes you will need to take your first semester.
