Transfer process specifics for Miami Dade College?

I'm thinking about transferring to Miami Dade College and wondering what the eligibility requirements are. Does anyone know if there's a specific transfer eligibility form I need to fill out to start the process?

Sure, I can provide some insight on the process. For incoming transfer students to Miami Dade College (MDC), the primary requirement is having earned a high school diploma, a GED, or the equivalent from a certified institution. You will also need to have official transcripts from your current college sent to MDC.

Though not explicitly labeled as a "Transfer Eligibility Form," the online application for admission is the main document you need to complete to initiate the transfer process. Within the application, you will specify that you're a transfer student and provide relevant information about your current institution and coursework.

Once your application is submitted, your transcripts are evaluated and the school determines how many of your credits they will accept, ensuring they satisfy MDC course requirements. Note that a minimum 2.0 GPA is usually preferred.

After applying, you should also submit your FAFSA, if eligible, to open up possibilities for financial aid. You'll use the same process for this as you would at any college—complete the form online using Miami Dade College's school code.

Once you're admitted, you will usually meet with an academic advisor who can guide you in selecting courses and will aid you in making a smooth transition to MDC. You may need to go through the school's New Student Orientation and also take any necessary placement tests.

Remember, each transfer situation can be unique, so don't hesitate to contact the Admissions Office at Miami Dade College directly with any specific questions or for additional clarification. They are there to help guide you through this process. Good luck with your transfer!
