Boston University transfer college report requirements

I'm applying to transfer to Boston University and it mentions needing a 'college report.' Can someone explain what a college report is and how I can obtain one from my current school?

A College Report is a document that gives colleges a better understanding of your standing at your current institution. It’s usually completed by a college advisor, dean, or other college official who has access to your academic and disciplinary records. The report provides information about your academic standing, disciplinary history, and often includes a recommendation from the college official filling it out.

In terms of how to obtain one, you will first have to download the college report form from the Boston University transfer application requirements web page. Once you download the form, take it to the appropriate official at your current institution, which is usually someone in the Registrar’s Office or Academic Affairs office.

It’s essential to give this official ample time to complete your College Report as they’re often helping many students with similar requests. Once completed, either you or the official – depending on your school's policy – will submit the report directly to Boston University, following the submission instructions on the form. If your school is on break or you're not currently enrolled, reach out to your previous institution's Registrar’s Office for guidance on how to get the report finalized and submitted.
