If you are a transfer student who has selected a major and know where you want to transfer, then congratulations! You are ahead of the game.

Start planning your program of study right away by meeting with your academic advisor and following the steps below.

Step 1:

Ask a transfer academic advisor at your current institution to assist you in planning your future transfer. Taking a class without quality advice is taking a risk with your time and tuition.

If you have selected a major, make sure you know the major's required courses at both your current institution and the institution where you plan to transfer. You can do this by speaking to your academic advisor, consulting college catalogs, and checking with an admissions representative at your transfer institution.

Step 3:

Check the Transfer Equivalency List to search for courses that are required in programs at both your current and transfer institutions.

Step 4:

After you understand how courses will transfer, register.

Step 5:

After you complete your semester’s coursework, create a Course History in PA TRAC.
