Steps for Submitting Cornell Transfer Transcripts?

I'm preparing to apply as a transfer student to Cornell. Can anyone share details on when and how to submit final college transcripts? It’d be great to hear from those who have successfully transferred and navigated this process.

It's fantastic that you're interested in transferring to Cornell. Your college transcripts are an essential part of your application as they show your academic track record at your current institution.

1. Request Your Transcripts: First, you'll need to request your official transcripts from the college you're currently attending. Most schools have a specific office or online portal for transcript requests – in many cases, this is the registrar's office. There might be a small fee associated with this service.

2. Send Your Transcripts: Once you've requested your transcript, you'll need to have it sent to Cornell directly from your current college to maintain its official status. They should not be sent by the student. The mailing address for transcripts is generally listed on Cornell University's admissions website.

3. Check-In: After your transcript has been sent, check in with Cornell's admissions office a few weeks later to confirm that they've received it. You might be able to track this through your application portal.

4. Final Transcripts: If you get accepted and decide to enroll, you'll also need to submit final transcripts after completing your current semester to show your latest grades before matriculating to Cornell. Essentially, these are your final grades that were not available at the time you submitted the transcripts originally.

Remember, the specific details can vary by year and college. It's always a good idea to verify the process with Cornell's transfer admissions team or consult their website for the most current information. Good luck with your transfer application process!
