I need to fill out the transfer college report form for Lehigh, but I'm not super clear on how the process works. Who fills it out, and where do I submit it after it's done?
You'll find that the transfer college report form for Lehigh is generally completed by a school official—it could be your academic adviser, dean, or registrar who is familiar with your educational performance. After the official completes the form and provides their signature, they should gather any supporting documentation, such as your college transcript.
In terms of submission, the completed transfer college report form should ideally be sent directly from your previous institution to Lehigh to avoid any perception of tampering. Lehigh prefers to receive materials via email, and the document should be sent to the Office of Admissions.
Before the paperwork is handled, I'd advise requesting an appointment with the school official who'll be filling out the form. You can use this opportunity to discuss your academic history and any hiccups that might require explanation. It's also a good chance to confirm they will be able to submit it on time, as late submission could delay your application review.
Keep in mind you also have the right to review the form, as it contains information about your academic standing and disciplinary records. It might be a good opportunity to get an idea of the information that the universities will consider during the admissions process.
Stay proactive about this process and keep open lines of communication with your administration for successful completion and submission of the form. Good luck with your transfer application!
