University of Illinois Transfer Student Events

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.
