This virtual workshop is designed for students early in their transfer journey who want to understand how to prepare to be a strong future applicant. We’ll cover how to:
- Use the Transfer Handbook to understand GPA and course requirements by major
- See how we calculate your transferable GPA (and why it may differ from your current school’s)
- Identify required and recommended courses to complete before applying
- Understand open access majors, programs with required coursework for admission, and language other than English (LOTE) expectations
- Use tools like Transferology to check how your courses may transfer
You’ll leave with a clear plan for using your time at your current institution to best prepare for transferring to Illinois.
