I'm looking into transferring to Lehigh University and saw that I need to submit a transfer college report. What information do I need to include on this report, and how important is it in the application process?
The Transfer College Report is a common document required by many schools, including Lehigh University, during the transfer application process. It typically contains information about your standing at your current institution and, most importantly, verifies whether or not you're eligible to return.
The necessary details in the report usually include your academic and disciplinary records, along with a certification of good standing from a college official (usually a dean or an academic advisor). They will be indicating whether you're presently in good standing, eligible to re-enroll, or have any disciplinary violations.
How important is it? Extremely. This report provides Lehigh with a better understanding of your academic and disciplinary history, which plays a critical role in their decision-making process. It's essentially a reassurance that you're in good standing at your current institution. Without this affirmation, there's a chance your application could be at a disadvantage.
Therefore, you should ensure the prompt and accurate completion of this report by the appropriate personnel at your current institution. Good luck with your transfer process!
