What's needed for the Common App College Transfer Report?

I'm using the Common App to apply as a transfer student and I'm a bit confused about the College Transfer Report. What exactly do I need from my current college for this part of my application?

The College Transfer Report in the Common App is typically required from all transfer applicants and it essentially seeks to provide a snapshot of your academic and personal history at the college you're currently attending.

The College Transfer Report is completed by a college official at your current institution — usually an academic advisor, a dean, or a registrar. This official should be someone who has access to both your academic record and your disciplinary information.

The report comprises four parts:

1. Student's grades: It details your academic performance in the courses you've taken at your current institution up until the time of the report.

2. Disciplinary history: It includes a check for any disciplinary actions taken against you. This is important, as colleges want to ensure they are accepting students of good standing.

3. College official's recommendation: This is a recommendation from the college official completing your form. It highlights your academic and personal progress, and any qualities that make you a strong transfer candidate.

4. Confirmation of dates of attendance: It should also confirm the dates you were enrolled as a student at your current college.

You will need to initiate the process within the Common App by listing the contact info for your chosen college official—this will send them an email prompting them to complete the report in the Common App. Make sure to talk to the official you choose beforehand to make sure they're able to fulfill this request, as they will need to provide substantial and accurate information. Remember that the process might take some time, so start it as early as possible to avoid any last-minute complications.
