Transfer Student Day

Thinking about transferring? Sometimes, it’s a matter of wanting an academic program your school doesn’t offer. Other times, it can simply be that the school you’re attending doesn’t feel like the right fit. No matter what reason you might have for transferring, it’s not too late—and it’s easy to do. Join us on a Transfer Student Day to get started. 

Individual appointments with an admissions counselor also can be scheduled for Monday through Friday throughout the year.
