Admitted Fall Transfer Students Next Steps

Admitted Fall Transfer Students Next Steps Congratulations on your admission to Illinois! Now that you’re officially part of the Illinois Legacy, I want to provide you some information about your next steps to enrollment. I hope this will help with your transition to Illinois. 1. Accept your offer! You’ve been admitted, and that’s a big deal. You can accept your offer throughyour myIllini account. Note that you must also submit a nonrefundable enrollment fee when you do so. Once you accept your offer, you will have access to each part of your Admitted Student Checklist. If you applied for fall admission, you should accept your offer online by May 1 (or within 2 weeks if you receive your Notice of Admission packet after April 15). The sooner you accept your offer of admission, the sooner you can sign up for registration, submit your housing request, and more. 2. Review and complete your Admitted Student Checklist. This checklist will allow you to preview and manage all of the necessary next steps to enrollment. You will be able to claim your NetID, sign up for New Student Registration, decide on tuition and billing payment options, and learn about what documents you need to submit. Also included in your myIllini account is your transfer evaluation report. This report shows you how each of your courses transfer to Illinois. 3. Successfully complete your classes at your current institution. It is a condition of your admission that you maintain your grades for your final semester before transferring. You can start preparing for Illinois, but don’t lose sight of the classes you are in now! 4. Decide where you want to live. As a transfer student, you may have the option to live in off-campus housing if you have more than 30 credit hours or have lived on campus in university housing at another institution for one year. Youshould consult with the Housing Information Office before signing a lease to ensure you meet the requirements to live off campus. If you want to live on campus, your options include bothUniversity HousingorPrivate Certified Housing. Two of our halls, Scott and Bousfield, include communities specifically for transfers. If you plan to live off campus, the Off-Campus Community Living office can help you find apartments and houses and even review leases. 5. Register for Transfer Illini Day. It is not a requirement, but we encourage you to attend our Transfer Illini Day. This event is designed to help admitted transfer students learn more about university and campus resources. This year’s program will take place in the Illini Union on April 17, 2020. Youll receive an invitation email to sign up for it soon if you havent already. 6. Submit your final spring transcripts. Your admission decision is contingent on successful completion of any courses in progress or that you planned to take prior to entry to Illinois. For fall enrollment, you should have your final college transcripts sent to our office by June 15. If you’re taking summer courses, the final transcript needs to be sent as soon as your summer grades are finalized. All transcripts must be sent directly from the institution at which the courses were taken. If you have any questions about the enrollment process, please feel free to contact our office at 217-333-0302 or by email at admissions@illinois.edu. Looking forward to having you on campus!
