The Transfer Experience

Transferring from one school to another can be difficult and intimidating---all over again, you must adjust to a new environment and community. However, because you are transferring from another special program to SEEK, you will find that there are many resources to help the process run smoothly.

Please consider the recommendations below as you begin the transfer process. Be advised that this list highlights the basic procedures and is not all-inclusive. Your school may have special transfer requirements.

• Complete the CUNY online Transfer application.

• Make sure to submit the Counselor Recommendation form to Baruch and UAPC by the CUNY-Wide priority deadline (October 1st for the Spring and March 1st for the Fall).

• Complete the online financial aid application at www.fafsa.com.

• Next, go to www.hesc.com for your TAP (Tuition Assistance Program) application. You must also be sure to indicate the Baruch College school code: 1409.

• Once you receive an acceptance letter from Baruch College, respond online right away. Failure to respond will result in a loss of your acceptance.

• Contact the SEEK Transfer Counselor upon your acceptance to Baruch College. You must also attend the SEEK Orientation prior to the start of the term.

If you applied to Baruch College by the Spring 2009 deadline, you will receive notification towards the end of November.

SEEK Transfer Orientation

Whether you transfer to Baruch in September or January, you will have the opportunity to attend a Transfer orientation geared specifically to Baruch SEEK students.

During this orientation, you will:

• Learn about the campus and its resources.

• Become familiar with the surrounding neighborhood.

• Meet your peer mentors.

• Meet the SEEK Staff.
