I'm looking at transferring to the College of Charleston, but I'm not sure about the deadlines. Does anyone know when the application needs to be in and any tips for making the process smoother?
The College of Charleston has a rolling admissions policy for transfer students which means they accept applications throughout the year. However, they do recommend that you submit your application by the following priority deadlines for the best course selection:
- Fall Semester transfers: April 1
- Spring Semester transfers: November 1
Having said that, it's always a good idea to submit your application as soon as possible. As for tips, ensure that you have all the proper documentation prepared, including official transcripts from all previously attended post-secondary institutions, and if you have fewer than 24 credit hours, your high school transcript and SAT or ACT scores. You'll also want to check if your current credits will transfer over to the College of Charleston by using their transfer guide. This can help you plan the courses you'll need to take after transferring.
Final decisions are typically delivered approximately two to four weeks from the date your application becomes complete with all necessary documents. So, it's a good idea to ensure complete documentation to avoid delays in the decision-making process.
