I'm planning to transfer to Hunter College and I'm a little confused about the registration process for new transfer students. Can someone break down the key steps or deadlines I should be aware of?
Sure! Let's go through the key stages that apply to transfer students at Hunter College.
1. Submit CUNY Application: The first step is to submit the CUNY transfer application online. The fall semester application commonly opens in September and has a priority deadline of February 1st, while the spring semester application typically opens in February with a priority deadline of September 15th.
2. Send Transcripts: You'll need to submit official transcripts from all post-secondary schools you've attended. If you've earned fewer than 24 credits, you'll also need to submit your high school transcript.
3. Application Review: Once your application and all supporting documents have been received, the Hunter College admissions team will review your application and make an admissions decision. There is no set timetable for this, but you'll usually hear back within a few weeks of submitting your completed application.
4. Get Advised: If accepted, you should receive information about advisement in your acceptance letter or shortly after. The advising session, which is mandatory for all new students, will help you understand what courses you need to take at Hunter College. You'll register for your classes after this session.
5. Immunization Records: New York State law requires that all college students provide proof of immunity against measles, mumps, and rubella, and acknowledge receipt of information regarding the meningitis disease. You'll need to submit these records prior to registering for classes.
6. Final Transcripts: Make sure you submit the final official transcripts from your previous college that includes all grades and your date of graduation, if applicable.
7. Tuition: Lastly, after you've registered for your classes, be sure to pay your tuition and fees by the specified deadline to secure your place.
Remember, it's always a good practice to confirm these with Hunter College's transfer admissions department to avoid any confusion as each student's situation may vary slightly.
