Transcript Review
Upon admission to Capital, your college transcripts will be reviewed by our Registrar's Office and an audit of your General Education Classes will be forwarded to you. The audit will also include a list of all the courses that transfer to Capital. A faculty adviser will determine how the courses apply to the degree. Therefore, it is recommended to plan a meeting with a faculty adviser to find out how your major classes transfer and how long it will take to complete your degree. Contact the Admission Office for faculty adviser names and contact information.
Receive your financial aid award
Transfer students should include Capital’s financial aid code (003023) to their completed FAFSA form (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). Once FAFSA is received by Capital, accepted students will receive their financial aid award. (Beginning in March for Fall term and October for Spring semester)
Submit your enrollment deposit
After receiving your financial aid award, you must submit the enrollment deposit to reserve a space in the class. See your acceptance letter for details. The deposit is $300 for residential students and $200 for commuter students.
Meet your advisor to schedule classes
Your advising folder will be sent to an academic advisor upon receipt of your enrollment deposit. The faculty advisor will contact you to register for classes. After you meet with your advisor, turn in your completed schedule to the Registrar’s Office.
Complete paperwork
A packet of information will be mailed to all deposited students with information about the Student Personnel Record, Health History Form, Housing Application, Housing Release Form, and Insurance Waiver (for students opting out of Capital University Student Health Insurance).
Select a payment option
The Student Accounts Office will send information about your e-bill and payment options to your Capital e-mail account.
Attend transfer student orientation
You and your family members are invited to attend Transfer Transition Orientation. (Early January for Spring semester and late August for Fall semester)
