I am planning to transfer to a city college soon and I'm curious when I need to make my official decision. Does anyone know the general deadline for transfer commitments?
Transfer student commitment dates can vary by college, but most schools will require a decision by May 1, which is colloquially referred to as "National Decision Day". However, some schools may have later deadlines ranging into June or July, especially those with rolling admissions. It's always best to confirm this date directly with the specific city college you are planning to transfer to since each one might have its independent timeline. If you’ve already been accepted, this information could be in your acceptance letter or the online portal where you check your admissions decisions. If it's not, reaching out to the admissions office directly may be your best bet. Also, don't forget to submit your deposit by the deadline, as this is often how you officially express your intent to attend.
