Priority Application Deadlines for Transfer Students

Transfer students should submit their application and all required application materials by the following priority deadlines:

  • Fall Term: Aug. 15

  • Spring Term: Dec. 15

Submitting all materials by the priority deadline ensures we have sufficient time to review your application and guide you through the next steps in the enrollment process.

Next Steps

We have all the resources you'll need to dive right into life at Concordia. From scholarship applications to course registration, learn more about your next steps as you join the Cobber community.

1. Apply for Scholarships

Concordia offers several scholarship opportunities for incoming transfer students — including the Transfer Excellence Scholarship, which is awarded upon admission. 

 

Tip: Watch for scholarship deadlines and apply early so your scholarships get factored into your official financial aid offer.

2. Financial Aid

We will build you a personalized financial aid package based on initial scholarships and your FAFSA. Visit fafsa.gov and use code 002346.

 

Plan to complete any scholarship applications prior to getting your Financial Aid award to maximize your aid offer. 

5. Register for Classes

After you complete the above steps, you'll be able to submit a short form to help us understand more about your schedule and what courses you'll need. Once the Pre-Registration Form is submitted, the Registrar's Office will reach out to you via email to set up a time to help you register via phone or video call. 

 

Deposited students are eligible to sign up for advising and registration when their registration window opens.

 

You should plan to have access to a computer during your registration appointment.

6. Sign up for Housing

Get to know more about our housing policies and options. Fill out our housing application to select your preferred residence hall.

 

Traditionally, all first- and second-year students are required to live in a residence hall on campus. Transfer students can plan to submit a housing exemption request should they wish to live off campus.

7. Complete Sexual Assault & Hazing Prevention Trainings

This video-based program will provide crucial information about Consent, Bystander Intervention, Sexual Assault, Dating Violence, Stalking, and much more. This online training will help you better understand how important these issues are and what you can do to help make our campus safer.

 

If you've completed similar training at your transfer school, you may be able to be exempt from the Sexual Assault Prevention training if you can provide proof of completion. Ask your admission rep for more information.

9. Submit Final Transcripts

If you submitted any unofficial transcripts for admission, be sure to send updated official transcripts once final grades are posted, which allows your in-progress credits to be transferred.

12. Get Your Textbooks

In partnership with the Cobber Bookstore, Concordia offers students an innovative solution to the challenge of obtaining correct course materials at an affordable price.
 
The Achieve program combines the convenience of a subscription-like service with the vast inventory of digital, rental, and consumable course materials to Concordia’s students, delivering ISBN-required course materials directly to students for the first day of class at an affordable fee per semester. Students who do not wish to participate must opt-out by the deadline each semester. 

14. Transfer Student Orientation

Begin your Cobber life at New Student Orientation planned specifically with transfer students in mind. During Orientation, new transfer students will become familiar with campus, academic life, student activities, and college procedures. Transfer Orientation activities will begin Sunday, Aug. 24, and go through the morning of Wednesday, Aug. 27, to kick off the first day of classes.
