Transfer Application Tips:
Questions? Need more information?
• If possible, complete applications online to
speed up the admissions process. In some
cases, a school may waive the application fee if
completed online.
Contact an STLCC Advising office:
• Pay close attention to deadlines! Make a calendar
of important dates and deadlines.
• Proofread your application and supporting
materials for grammar and spelling errors.
• Make copies of everything! Keep a separate
folder for each school you apply to and
stay organized.
• When using e-mail to communicate with
potential transfer schools, ensure that your
e-mail address is appropriate and that you check
it on a regular basis.
• Make sure your application is complete before
submitting. An incomplete application may
delay the admissions process and may be
rejected altogether.
• Have a back-up plan – apply to more than
one school.
• Follow up with each school to ensure they have
all of the required information and documents.
