Preparing for Transfer Registration and Orientation Day
Here are a few things to add to your checklist before you arrive for orientation and your first day of classes as a Redbird.
Review Schedule
Make sure you attend all required sessions and check out our optional tours.
Send Transcripts
Have you already submitted your official transcripts to Illinois State?
Take ALEKS Math Placement
Students who have not completed their math requirement may be required to take the ALEKS math placement exam. Your advisor will discuss your major math requirements during your advisement appointment.
Find Housing
Many transfer students choose to live in the residence halls because of location, convenience, and social opportunities. If you are transferring to the University within two years of high school graduation, you are required live on campus.
Submit Immunization Records
All students admitted to Illinois State are required by law to provide proof of immunity.
Explore Transportation Options
Illinois State's campus is safe, extremely compact, and very convenient. You can get nearly anywhere you need to go on foot, by car or public transportation in just a few minutes.
Register for Transfer Student Seminar
This optional course is an opportunity to meet other transfer students while learning about the resources, policies and involvement options at Illinois State University.
Apply for Honors Program
Transfer students who have at least three semesters remaining until graduation, a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or greater, and evidence of extracurricular/community involvement are encouraged to submit an application to the Honors Program.
Request Accommodations
