Tips for Transfer Students

Oct 06, 2025
  1. Go over evaluation of transfer credit with the advisor(s) to ensure that needed general education courses or prerequisite courses have been satisfied.
  2. Attend the transfer orientation meeting the first semester on campus with the Undergraduate Teacher Education Program Director (September or January).
  3. Plan on the possibility of taking a summer course or two in order to get into proper sequence for courses, which may be offered only in the fall or spring semesters.
  4. Transfer students from two-year institutions, particularly those with 62 accepted semester credits, should use every opportunity to take upper-level courses to fulfill the Liberal Arts major requirements.
  5. Note the transfer student’s checklist (appendix C) and evaluate status in the teacher education program. To ensure that plans for student teaching and graduation are not delayed, these steps leading to admission to teacher education  must be completed by the end of the first semester on campus. 
  6. Consultation with both the education (& content major) advisor(s) can ensure successful completion of EMU's teacher education program.
