Forms and Deadlines Checklist for Transfer Students

This checklist of forms and deadlines is intended for new fall-entry transfer students who have paid their deposit and received acknowledgement from the University. Most of the forms and steps below can be completed in one sitting, but several forms require additional lead time to complete so we advise not waiting until the deadline to complete them.

If you are a new first-year student entering in the fall, please consult your Spider Portal for important checklist items.
