Am I a transfer or first-year applicant? How much does it cost to apply? Is Sewanee test optional? All of these questions and more answered below.

Enrollment Checklist

After a transfer student is admitted and pays their enrollment deposit, the enrollment checklist will populate on their Applicant Status Page. This checklist will guide incoming transfer students on completing all necessary enrollment forms (housing, course selection, etc.) While Your Domain is geared toward incoming first-year students, some of the information may be helpful to incoming transfer students. 

Contact us

We split up the transfer applicant pool by domestic and international transfers. Please contact Faith or Katherine if you are a U.S. Citizen or hold permanent residence in the U.S. and contact Joe if you are an international transfer.
