What if I am a transfer student?
Upon admission, note the number of semester hours on your Certificate of Admission.

(See University Graduation Requirements, “First-Year Composition Requirement.”) If you have completed 87 or more semester hours, file a program of study or declaration of graduation (see University Graduation Requirements, “Declaration of Graduation”).
In addition to applying for admission, complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by the February 15 priority date. If you apply after the priority date, you will be considered a late applicant and are less likely to receive grants and Federal Work-Study due to funding limitations. You may obtain a paper FAFSA from any financial aid office or complete an electronic application at www.fafsa.ed.gov. See Student Services, “Student Financial Assistance” and “Financial Aid.”
