CHECKLIST FOR TRANSFER STUDENTS

Selecting a college is an exciting time! To smooth the way for you to become a Morningside Student, we have developed a checklist of things to do. This checklist will help you meet each phase of the application and admission process.

A campus visit is a must for every student! If you have not visited Morningside College, we recommend that you set up an appointment. We are open Monday through Friday from 8:00-5:00 and most Saturday mornings from 9:00-12:00 noon. A campus visit includes meetings with faculty and our Financial Planning staff, a campus tour, and a visit with current students. Call 800-831-0806 x5111 to set up your visit!




Application Process...
Complete an Application for Admission. This can be done by filing out a paper application, or by completing our on-line application.  We will waive the application fee for students who complete the on-line application or have completed a campus visit.

Have your high school send an official grade transcript directly to the Office of Admissions. This will document your completion of high school and provide ACT or SAT scores.

Have official grade transcripts from all colleges attended sent directly to the Office of Admissions. An evaluation of transfer credits will be done upon acceptance to Morningside College. NOTE : If you are planning a campus visit, please bring a copy of your transcripts with you.

If you have attended another college within the past 12 months you are required to obtain a Transfer Recommendation Form from the Dean of Students at the college from which you are transferring. You may obtain this form from the Morningside College Office of Admissions.


Admission Process...
When the Office of Admissions has received all required documents and transcripts, the information will be reviewed by the Admissions Committee. Upon acceptance, you will be sent a letter verifying your status as an admitted student to Morningside College.



Deposit...
Once you have been admitted to Morningside College you will be asked to send an enrollment deposit of $100.00. The deposit will allow other offices, like Housing and Student Health, to send you important information. We encourage early payment of this deposit to insure early receipt of information and consideration for housing and class registration.



Financial Aid...
The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) should be completed as soon as possible after January 1, 2008. Morningside's code is 001879.

Scholarships are based on a variety of information. The information needed for admission to the college is also used to determine academic scholarships. Any additional information will be requested when applicable.
