How does the registration process work for transfer students at Molloy College? I plan on transferring next semester and want to ensure I’m fully prepared and know what steps to follow.
The first step in transferring to Molloy College is to apply. Molloy operates on a rolling basis, so there's no specific deadline for transfer applications. However, applying as early as possible is a good idea for the best chance of getting your choice schedule. You can apply online on the Molloy website via Common Application and use a code they provide during checkout to waive your application fee.
After you've been accepted to Molloy College, you'll need to send in your final official transcripts from all previous institutions. If you've completed less than 24 credits at the time of your application, you may be asked to submit high school transcripts or UCAS A levels as well.
Once your application is complete and you've been accepted, you will receive an evaluation of your credits from the transfer credit evaluator. This will show how your previous college credits apply towards your degree at Molloy.
Next, you'll want to pay your deposit to confirm your intention to enroll – this step usually secures your spot in the incoming class. The deposit is typically refundable up until a certain date.
Then, you’ll need to submit your health and immunization records to the health office – this is required for your enrollment and class registration.
Once these steps are complete, you'll register for classes. As a transfer student, you'll sign up for a Transfer Registration Day. During this day, you'll be able to meet with an academic advisor who can help you choose your classes based on your transferred credits, degree requirements, and personal interests. They will guide you through the registration system, ensuring you know how to register for future classes independently.
Lastly, you can apply for housing if needed, and fill out the necessary financial aid information.
That's a general overview of what the process will look like. Keep an eye on your Molloy email account, as the Office of Admissions will use it to send you reminders about upcoming checklist items and deadlines. Good luck with your transfer!
