Transfer Students

Miami University may be very different from the college or university from which you transferred. We realize you may have a lot of unanswered questions. This web page contains information that will probably answer some of your questions, but you should also feel free to stop in at the Commuter Center to speak with the Commuter Center staff. They are aware of many resources available to you on campus and would be more than happy to talk with you.

Academic Advising for Transfer Students

Academic advising for incoming transfer students is hosted by the academic divisions. New transfer students enrolled in a major that falls under the College of Arts and Science or the School of Business will receive information about advising and registration shortly after confirmation is received. It is mandatory for all new MU students to receive academic advising before they can register for classes. Transfer students enrolled in a major that does not fall under these two divisions should contact the appropriate divisional office (see listing below).
