What info are you looking for?
Academics Information: Navigating your degree progress is straightforward with dedicated degree-audit systems and credit evaluation tools that ensure every transfer credit moves you closer to graduation. You can easily track major requirements, clarify academic policies, and keep your graduation timeline on schedule.
Advising & Student Support: You are paired with specialized, college-specific academic advisors who understand the unique dynamics of transferring coursework. Additionally, non-traditional transfer students—including those who are 25 or older—have access to tailored retention programs and peer networks designed for their specific academic journeys.
Student Life & Community Building: Connecting with fellow Gophers is made easy through transfer-focused leadership and social opportunities. You can join the Tau Sigma National Honor Society, live in the Transfer Living & Learning Community, voice your perspective on the Transfer Student Advisory Board, or drop in for casual Student Coffee Chats and National Transfer Student Week events. Broad campus health, food security, and housing resources also ensure your fundamental needs are met.
Financial Services & Aid: Managing college expenses stays manageable through centralized support from One Stop Student Services. You can stay on top of tuition billing, aid disbursements, and scholarship opportunities while keeping track of crucial financial milestones using the university’s Financial Aid Calendar.
