Checklist for Baruch College transfer students?

I'm in the process of transferring to Baruch College and I want to make sure I have everything covered. Does anyone have a checklist or tips on what needs to be done before the transfer is complete? Thanks in advance!

Certainly! Transferring to a new college like Baruch can involve a few steps. Here's a general checklist that should apply:

1. Application: Complete the online transfer application via CUNY application portal and pay the application fee.

2. Transcripts: Have your high school and all colleges you've attended send your official transcripts to Baruch College. This includes dual enrollment credits from high school if applicable.

3. SAT/ACT Scores: Baruch requires that you submit SAT/ACT scores if you have less than 24 college credits. Have the College Board or ACT, Inc. send these scores if required.

4. Essays and Supplemental Material: Check if Baruch requires any essays or supplemental materials. Most CUNY schools do not, but occasionally certain programs will.

5. Deadline: Make sure that all materials arrive by the deadline. For fall admission, the application deadline for most CUNY colleges is typically in February.

6. Admission Decision: Once you apply, keep an eye on your email and mail for an admission decision, typically within a few months.

7. Financial Aid: Complete the FAFSA to apply for financial aid, and have the information sent to Baruch. If you're a New York resident, don't forget to complete the New York State Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) application too.

8. Orientation: If accepted, sign up for a transfer student orientation program, to learn about Baruch's resources, meet advisors, and register for classes.

9. Course Enrollment: Register for courses once your orientation allows it. Review Baruch's course catalog and consult with an academic advisor if needed.

10. Housing: If you plan on living on campus, complete housing application and pay any necessary deposits.

11. Official Transcript: Once you've finished all courses at your current college, have them send a final, official transcript to Baruch.

12. Immunization Records: Baruch would require your immunization records as well.

Remember, this is a general list that should apply to most situations, but every student's situation is unique. You should always coordinate with the admissions office or a transfer advisor at Baruch to ensure you're meeting all their requirements. They may provide you with a checklist specific to your circumstances. Good luck with your transfer process!
