- Exams and Papers
- Copy of your TAG/IGETC agreement
2) SEND OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTS
- Official transcripts are required to complete your record in the Admissions Office
- Transcripts are used by the Academic Advising Offices during Orientation to review your courses and clear general education requirements, as necessary
- Department Advisors use official transcripts (on-line) to review grades and courses for potential satisfaction of major requirements
3) ATTEND ORIENTATION
- Transfer Orientation is conducted to familiarize you with the university
- Class registration, university requirements, policies and procedures are described during the program
- Campus resources and support services are presented
4) LEARN ABOUT RESOURCES AND INVOLVEMENT
- Know your campus resources
- Use as many resources available to you as possible
- Become involved in the campus community
5) ASK QUESTIONS!
- The more questions you ask, the more informed you are
- Asking questions regarding requirements, the petition process, financial aid, etc. puts you in control of your academic career
- Questions directed to the correct individual or office will save you time and energy
Remember, you are responsible for your academic career...
By asking questions, becoming informed, and understanding requirements you are actively moving toward a successful graduation!
