Next week, our office started reviewing Spring 2016 transfer
applications.
This is much earlier than I expected, but we are way ahead of the timelines we have predicted for Fall transfers files and final HS transcripts for freshmen. The 8/15 application deadline for spring has not passed and we are still receiving
applications and documents, so we cannot say how long it will take us to
finish or guess when you will hear a decision. If you applied for the
spring term, please be sure to
check your myStatus to see if we have your most up-to-date
transcript(s). If you were enrolled in coursework this summer and have
not sent a transcript with your summer grades, you should have one sent
as
soon as possible. To be complete and ready to review, we must have a
transcript from each college/university you have previously attended.
If you are attending a new college starting in the Fall 2015 semester,
we do not need a transcript, as there will not be any grades on the
transcript. If you are admitted, we will need a transcript when fall
term is done, though, as we will need to post these grades.
Transfer
decisions are made on
a daily basis Monday through Friday, and it varies on how many
decisions we can make in a day due to the complexity of some transfer
files. The myStatus page is updated in the early a.m. every business
morning, and
decisions are posted on the myStatus page and are mailed to transfer
applicants.We generally try to review files based on when a file is
complete (earliest to latest), but this is not an exact science due to complexities within the transfer
process. During the first few weeks of August, decisions might be a bit
slower than normal due to also having to input summer work for
incoming/returning students, but that should slow down by the start of
class (8/17).
We will be reviewing Spring Freshmen
applicants sometime in mid-late September after the deadline has passed and
all files are ready for review.
Go Dawgs!
