What happens after I've applied? Next steps for domestic transfer students

• Within two weeks, you will receive acknowledgment of your application.
  
• Approximately six to eight weeks after we have received all of your required documents, you will receive one of the following decisions:
  
  • Admit — Congratulations! You have been admitted to Ohio State. A transfer credit evaluation is on the way.
    
  • Denial — At this time, you do not meet our admissions requirements. To be considered for another quarter, you may wish to remain enrolled at your current college or university and improve your academic record. If you are not currently enrolled, you may wish to enroll at another college or university and improve your academic profile. In both cases, you will need to contact us to update your application for a future quarter.

• You will be mailed an Acceptance Fee Statement requesting a $100 nonrefundable fee to confirm your enrollment.
• If you choose not to attend Ohio State during the quarter for which you have applied, you must notify the Admissions office. You may update your application to be considered for another quarter by contacting Undergraduate Admissions. Your application fee applies for the next three consecutive quarters.

Attending an orientation session:
• You are required to attend a transfer student orientation session prior to the start of classes. During this program, you will take any necessary placement tests (English, math, and/or foreign language) and work with an academic advisor to schedule courses. You will be contacted by the Orientation office regarding dates, time, and location.
  
  Living on campus:
  
• Columbus campus transfer students are not required to live on campus. If you request campus housing on your application, you will receive information after receiving your notice of admission. For more information about campus living, visit University Housing. Please note campus housing is offered on a space-available basis. For more information about off-campus living resources, visit Off-Campus Student Services.

• University housing is available at some Ohio State regional campuses and at ATI. Contact those campuses and ATI directly for more information.
