Congratulations on your admission to Towson. We look forward to having you join our campus community this January at the Transfer Program. Before you do anything else, please submit your enrollment contract and $300 deposit to Undergraduate Admissions if you have not already done so. This task is necessary to finalize your enrollment before continuing with the next steps listed below.
All students who attended the Transfer Program are asked to complete our online program evaluation at the conclusion of their afternoon advising session. Please click here to fill it out.
Now that you have submitted your enrollment contract and $300 deposit to the university, you will begin to follow a timeline for all the steps required to transition you to Towson. Follow the steps outlined below and use the resources on this page to stay on track.
1. Review the To Do List for Transferring Students
This online publication details the steps you should complete to be prepared for the Transfer Program and beyond. Please note - there is no hardcopy version of the To Do List.
2. Activate your Towson University email account
All official electronic communication from the university will be sent to this account, including information regarding your orientation, class registration, and tuition bill. Get in the habit of checking it regularly!
3.Send in Final Transcripts and View Your Transfer Evaluation
Be sure to send all final transcripts to Admissions at least two weeks prior to your Transfer Program Part I date so that all credits are included on your transfer evaluation. You should also view your online transfer evaluation before the Transfer Program (Login to Peoplesoft, select "Self-Service", then "Student Center", then “Transfer Credit Report).
4. Review Academic Program Requirements and Register for the Transfer Program
While you probably have a good idea of the major you wish to pursue, it is important that you familiarize yourself with the specifics of your academic program here at Towson. Be sure to use the online 2010-2011 University Catalog* to look up all the critical information that you need to know before registering for a Transfer Program date (see below for more information about the Transfer Program).
*All students transferring into Towson are under the 2010-2011 University Catalog.
