Transferring from BC

Colleges and Universities A-Z Boston College

<p>I’m applying to transfer out of BC – not because I don’t like the school, but because I need to be in a different location for personal reasons. However, if I don’t get into that school, I won’t transfer.</p>

<p>Does anyone know the process for doing so? I’m nervous about telling admins at BC that I’m trying to transfer because I assume they’ll be upset that I feel that I need to leave. Also, I might not actually transfer so it might make future years more difficult for me. I know I’ll eventually need to ask my Dean for an “evaluation” but should I postpone that for as long as possible?</p>

<p>Also, what do I do about housing? I won’t know if I’m accepted to the other university until after housing is set. </p>

<p>Thanks for any advice.</p>

<p>Most academics are extremely understanding about personal issues, and transferring. Make an appointment and seek out their counsel. A couple of years ago, a BC student was unhappy and wanted to transfer – she (if I recall she was a she) had a list of schools in mind, met with BC’s dean, who even helped her refine the list based on the things that she was seeking in a college.</p>

<p>Dunno about housing.</p>
