Transferring to a university is exciting, but you may also find yourself feeling overwhelmed. You may hear a lot of buzz around first-time-freshmen and all the processes that they should be completing in order to start their first semester. I am here to tell you that as a transfer student, your process is just as important to us! As a former transfer student, I reflected on my enrollment journey and want to share a \u201cchecklist\u201d to help with your journey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Determine your goals and make a plan <\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n

As a transfer student, you may be a parent or a working adult and your goals may be different than other students. At Tarleton, we have something that aligns with every student depending on their goals. With that being said, think about your goals. What do you want out of your education journey? What career path do you want to take? What does your schedule allow? How do you want to pay for college? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be a lot to think about, but once you have a plan, we have resources to help you through the process. I encourage you to join a Transfer Information Session with a Tarleton State University Admission Counselor. During this session, you will have the opportunity to learn more about Tarleton, talk about our degree plan options and what courses will transfer from your current college or university. Please do not hesitate to ask questions! That is what we are here for! Your goals are our goals!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
