The North Dakota University System is working to make transfers easier. Students can help facilitate the transfer process by taking the following into consideration:
The requirements of colleges and universities throughout the United States vary so widely that it is not possible to prescribe a curricular program which will apply to all of them. Therefore, students need to familiarize themselves with the requirements of their program at the college to which they may transfer. This college or university, in the final analysis, determines the acceptability of transfer credits.
Following is a list of activities students intending to transfer can follow to ease their transition to another campus.
- Plan ahead.
- Decide on your major as early as possible — especially if it might be a highly structured curriculum.
- Work closely with your faculty advisor to select courses that will meet the requirements of the receiving institution.
- Contact the Admissions Office of the school you plan to attend. Find out if your intended major has any special admission requirements and whether the school has information to help transfer students plan ahead.
