I'm thinking about becoming a transfer student at Flagler College. Does anyone have experience with the transfer process there? Any tips on making a smooth transition?
Sure, transferring to a new college can be a big decision and it's always great to gather as much information as you can. Flagler College definitely welcomes transfer students and they provide a fair share of resources as well. They employ a rolling admissions policy, which means you can apply at any time of the year and hear back within a few weeks.
One of the first steps is to ensure that your credits will transfer. Flagler College evaluates transfer credits on a course-by-course basis. Do keep in mind that a minimum grade of 'C' is necessary in order for a course to be eligible for transfer. Also, Flagler requires that at least half of your major requirements are completed at the college, so ensure your transfer timing aligns with this rule to avoid any delay in your graduation.
As for social transition, getting involved in campus activities and organizations is an excellent way to connect with other students and feel more at home. Flagler offers over 60 clubs and organizations, so there's likely something that aligns with your interests.
Academically, proactively reach out to your academic advisor and major department. They can help get you on track with your academic plan. You can also make use of the Learning Resource Center for academic assistance and career development.
Remember, transferring is a process that requires time and patience, but with thoughtful planning, you can ensure a smoother transition. Good luck with your next step!
