PICK UP THE PHONE.

There are professionals at each college you are considering who get paid to answer your questions. You can find the email address of the Transfer Advisor on the website. Send an email asking for a phone appointment to review your transcript up until now and get answers to your questions. Then actually HAVE that phone meeting to discuss.

It’s January- aren’t you registered for Spring classes already? If you are concerned about costs, you also need to pick up the phone and talk to someone in the bursar’s office to make sure you aren’t going to have charges follow you even after you transfer. Many students forget or don’t bother to do this. There is fine print buried in your enrollment contract which will allow your current institution to bill you for various things unless you follow the appropriate procedure for withdrawing. Housing, food, library charges, student activity fees, health care- there are various billing lines for each of these items, and just deciding “I’m transferring” will NOT get these charges removed.

Good luck.
