You do not need to turn in high school transcripts. Just provide us with your high school name and graduation year. If you took a GED or CHSPE exam in lieu of your high school diploma, please provide us with the date you passed the exam.
If you are in progress for classes, we will accept unofficial transcripts to review your application. However, in order to receive credit for those classes, you must submit official transcripts once all your classes are complete. Official transcripts are recommended.

Most likely! Very few courses have a "date of expiration." Certain majors may require that major coursework be completed within a given time frame. Your academic advisor will let you know if coursework is not transferable due to time restraints.
Of course! You have access to all the same resources, including the library, Conlan Recreation Center (including the weight room and swimming pool), career services, advising, tutoring, and counseling services. As a Transfer student, you are a valued part of our Dominican community!
