How does the transfer process work for Keene State College?

I'm thinking about transferring to Keene State College and was wondering if anyone knows how their transfer process works. Specifically, I'm curious about credit transfer and any helpful tips to make the process smoother.

The first step in the transfer process to Keene State College is to complete the Common Application. On this application, you will need to include your personal and academic information as well as your extra-curricular activities.

Also, you will need an official transcript from every college or university you've attended to be sent directly to Keene State. They will evaluate these transcripts to determine which credits will be accepted. It's worth noting that, according to their website, grades earned must be C- or better for credits to be considered for transfer.

In addition to your transcripts, Keene State College also requires an academic recommendation, which can be from a professor, advisor, or dean who has knowledge of your academic abilities. They also require a transfer college report, which is a Common App document that must be filled out by a current or most recent college administrator.

Before applying, you can use the Transferology website to see which of your credits are likely to transfer. Keep in mind though that this is just an estimation and the final decision will be made by Keene State's Registrar's office.

After you’ve submitted your application, Keene State will review it and make an admissions decision. They also offer an option for transfer students to be considered for merit-based scholarships which can help offset the tuition cost.

To make the process smoother, make sure all of your documents are submitted by the priority deadline (April 1st for the fall term, November 1st for the spring term). Also, reach out to the college's transfer coordinator who can provide you with more personalized guidance throughout the process. The more in touch you are with the school, the better equipped you'll be to handle any unexpected situations that arise.

Remember to stay organized and diligent throughout the process. Managing the paperwork and following up as needed can help ensure a smooth transfer process. Good luck!
