    Preparing for Registration

    You will register for your fall semester courses during a meeting with an Academic Counselor. You can schedule your registration appointment on any weekday starting early May. However, earlier is best for maximum class availability.

    Please contact Academic Counseling to schedule your appointment. Be sure you indicate you are a transfer student for Fall in your voicemail or email, and our staff will contact you to schedule a registration appointment.

    During the appointment, your academic counselor will:

    • Inquire about your goals and interests.
    • Review specific requirements for your degree program.
    • Review requirements for which you may have already earned credit (if applicable)
    • Assist you with class registration for the fall semester.

    Housing and Dining

    Decisions, decisions! Deciding where to live is intertwined with our Core Curriculum, which helps prepare you for success both during and after college. You'll want to understand the difference between a Living Learning Community and a Theme-Based Learning Community, and how those relate to your On or Off -Campus living decision.

    On Campus Housing

    Living on campus in a Residence Hall helps you meet other students and form a community here on campus.

    Each Residence Hall is unique, so we suggest a little research to find your best fit.

    Learn more about move-in.

    Off-Campus Housing

    Some students commute from home or live in off-campus housing. Both are viable options for transfer students.

    Off-Campus Student Life supports and connects commuters at St. Thomas.

    Decisions about Finances

    Taking care of the business of paying for school and managing the money is primarily your responsibility now.

    The Financial Aid Checklist will help you ensure you've taken care of the necessary steps to pay for college.

    You'll want to finish deciding on financial aid options, submitting deposits, and deciding who is going to pay the bills...and giving them the access to do it.

    Accommodations and Disability Resources

    The accommodations you had in high school can be extended into college. Please reach out to our Disability Resources team to discuss things like note-takers, audio texts, alternate exam arrangements, assistive technology, and any other accommodation you need to be a success.

    Physical & Mental Well-Being

    The Center for Well-Being is an integrated health care model that partners services for Physical and Mental Health, including Health Promotion, Resilience, and Violence Prevention. Contact them to transfer prescriptions and medical records, arrange for continuity of care, and transfer your Immunization Records.
