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.
