Transfer Success Starts Here.

The office of Transfer Student Success fosters equitable transfer outcomes that support bachelor’s degree attainment and career success through informed decision-making, clear pathways, strong partnerships, and proactive support.

The Transfer Office offers students the opportunity to connect with university representatives to support informed transfer decisions. These representatives meet with Columbus State students to share information about their institution’s admissions process and are available on a walk-in basis, no appointment needed.

Students are encouraged to take advantage of these visits to explore transfer options, ask questions, and learn more about their intended transfer institutions. For the most up-to-date visit schedules, please refer to the calendars on the Meet With University Advisors page.

The Transfer Office offers events and workshops designed to provide students with the information, resources, and guidance needed to plan a successful transfer pathway. Check our Transfer Events page to stay up-to-date on upcoming opportunities.

Transfer Planning & Academic Support

Students are encouraged to explore transfer options early in their studies at Columbus State. Each degree-seeking student is assigned a specialized Pathway or General Academic Advisor who can provide guidance and support to help students achieve academic success. For questions about coursework, students should consult their advisor first.

College Report Request Process

Students planning to transfer to another college may be required to submit a College Report. This form is used by the prospective institution to obtain information about a student's conduct and disciplinary record from their current college. Depending on the institution's requirements, the College Report may also include verification of GPA and other academic information.

These forms may go by different names depending on the institution. Examples include: Transfer College Report, Transfer Recommendation, Disciplinary Clearance, Code of Conduct Clearance, and Dean of Students Recommendation.

Please follow these steps to have the College Report completed by a CSCC representative:

Get the required form from your transfer college and complete the student section, including your signature.
Email the form to transferreport@cscc.edu and include your 7-digit Cougar ID number.
Please allow 2-4 business days for your request to be completed. If you have questions, please email transferreport@cscc.edu.

Note: If you are applying through the Common Application, some colleges may require the Common App College Report. You will need a Common App account to access this form.
