When are the deadlines for transferring to Roanoke College? I want to make sure I have everything submitted on time. Also, any advice on handling the timeline for obtaining transcripts?
For the fall semester, Roanoke College's transfer application deadline is typically June 15, while for the spring semester, it's typically December 15. It's always a good idea to double-check these dates on the school's official website since they can sometimes change.
In terms of obtaining your transcripts, you'll want to start that process early. At most colleges, you can request official transcripts through the registrar's office. It's crucial to give your current institution enough time to process your request as this can take a few weeks. Transcripts may get delayed, especially during busy periods, so it's better to start sooner rather than later. Make sure to also check if Roanoke College wants your transcripts sent directly from your current college or if they permit you to submit your transcripts yourself in a sealed envelope.
Keep in mind that you need to have all your application components, including your transcripts, in by the deadline. This doesn't mean you should aim to submit your application on the day of the deadline. It's always better to submit your application earlier rather than later, as you also need time to fix, in case there are any unexpected issues with your application.
