Applying for Fall 2015? Be sure to check out this year’s transfer application checklist here.

The Transfer Application deadline for fall 2013 admission is February 1, 2013.

I love making lists.  They really help me focus on what I need to get done.  Below is an application checklist that we put together – (hopefully) it will help you with the application process.

Application Checklist

1. Apply online using the Common Application and the USC Supplemental Application (www.commonapp.org).
2. Submit your official high school transcript.
3. Submit your official college transcripts from all colleges attended since high school.  Please note your transcript(s) should include your fall 2012 grades (and winter 2013 grades, if applicable):

               Transcripts should be mailed to:

Please note to meet the application deadline of you need to apply by February 1, 2013 (step 1).  You may submit your official transcripts (step 2 & 3) after the application deadline.  That said USC cannot review your application until your official transcripts are received.

As a transfer applicant,  you do not need to submit  any of the school forms  listed in the Common Application –  the College Official’s Report, Instructor Evaluation, School Report or the Mid-Term Report forms. Furthermore, we don’t require that you submit the a letter of recommendation.

Additional Documents – International Applicants must submit:

• Financial statement (for international students only).
• TOEFL (for international students only)¹

1 All international transfer applicants whose native language is not English must take the TOEFL.  The TOEFL must have been taken within the past two years from application date. You can learn more about the TOEFL here.
