Here are some helpful tips to ensure a smooth college transfer:

• Request information and read everything you can about Miami, your academic major, transfer credit policies, and graduation requirements so you can make the most informed transfer decision.
• Schedule a visit to get a feel for the campus and meet students, faculty, and staff.
• Talk with a Miami admission representative. Our helpful staff can answer your questions and put you in touch with the resources you need.
• Speak with a Miami representative who is visiting your community college. Our visit schedule is typically posted on your community college website as well.
• Request a preliminary evaluation of transfer credits to better understand the types of classes you need to take during your first year at Miami. 
• Ask current students and counselors for firsthand accounts about Miami to get the best advice.
• Apply for admission, keeping in mind these deadlines:
  • Spring semester: December 1
  • Fall semester: June 1
• Check your application status online. 
• Request transcripts from your prior institution(s) and have these sent to Miami.
• Apply for need-based aid using the FAFSA. Miami's federal school code is 003077. Submit the FAFSA by February 1 for priority scholarship consideration.
