Transfer Admission Checklist
A transfer student has earned more than 12 college-level hours with a 2.0 GPA on all non-developmental coursework and requires no more than one developmental course, including first English and math classes.
- Complete and submit an Application for Undergraduate Admission with application fee ($10.00).
- Request that an official transcript from each college previously attended be mailed directly to LSUS. If you are currently enrolled at another college or university when you apply for admission, submit a current official transcript and then submit a final official transcript at the conclusion of the term. Transcripts must be either directly mailed from the university or if hand-carried, sealed, unopened, and not issued to the student.
- Provide proof of immunization as defined in the Immunization Policy or sign a waiver.
- If you are an active member of the armed forces or a dependent, submit a Military Residency Form.
- Complete Virtual Transfer Orientation (VTO) online at www.lsus.edu/sdcc.
- Contact your academic advisor. Transfer students who have completed VTO may register 2 weeks after currently enrolled LSUS students register.
- Register for classes at compass.lsus.edu.
- Understand your residency status. Out-of-state residents are required to pay non-resident fees upon enrollment.
- Complete the FAFSA (www.lsus.edu/finaid) and other financial aid documents by these deadlines: March 1 for summer, June 1 for fall and October 1 for spring. Students in no preference, non-matriculating, pre-professional programs or other preparatory studies will not be eligible to receive financial aid.
- Pay tuition and fees by the fee payment deadline. You may pay via the website (compass.lsus.edu) using a credit card or financial aid. You may pay in person at Accounting Services (Administration 129) using cash, a check or a money order. You may mail a check or money order, made payable to LSUS, with the “Fee Payment by Mail” page from the website, to LSUS Accounting Services, 129 AD Building.
