- I’m looking to transfer to a different institution.
If you’re thinking of transferring to another college or university, it’s important to understand the transfer process and plan ahead.
- Talk with Your EMU academic advisor.
First of all, don’t worry: your advisor won’t be “mad” that you’re interested in transferring! He/she can help you confirm whether EMU is the best place for you, given your academic, professional, and personal goals. It’s possible you’ll ultimately decide you don’t want or need to transfer after all. - Contact an admissions representative at the other school, college or university.
If you have a specific program in mind, ask an admissions representative at the other college or university for information about how to transfer into that program. Admission requirements for transfer students may be different from those for students who entered the program as freshmen. Find out how credit you’ve earned (and any credit in progress) at EMU will transfer. Keep in mind that EMU doesn’t determine whether or how EMU credit transfers to another institution.
If you still want to transfer at this point, then... - Apply For admission to desired college or university.
As part of the transfer admission process, your desired college or university will require you to submit your official EMU transcript for review. Request that your official EMU transcript be sent to another institution and drop it off at a Service EMU counter or complete the request via your student portal on my.emich.edu.
EMU won’t mail your official transcript if you owe a balance with the University. Also, you’ll need the exact address to which your EMU transcript must be mailed. If you’re planning to receive financial aid at the other institution, be sure to contact that institution’s financial aid office for instructions.
