I'm working on my transfer application for Tufts and am unclear about the college report requirement. How do I get it done, and what's generally expected in this report?
Hi, it's useful to break down the requirements of the Tufts Transfer College Report for better understanding. This report is required for every college you've attended full-time for more than a year.
The Tufts Transfer College Report is typically completed by a college official like an advisor, dean, or registrar who has access to your academic and disciplinary records. For the report to be filled out correctly, a college official must answer questions concerning your academic standing, disciplinary history, and eligibility to return to the institution.
The report's main sections may include student information, college information, questions like "Is the student in good academic standing?" or "Is the student eligible to return to your college?", and a place for the college official's comments.
Here are some steps for you to get this done:
1. First, print out or download the Transfer College Report from the Tufts website, or from the Common Application if that's what you are using.
2. Next, identify the appropriate college official at your current institution who can complete the report. This could be a dean, registrar, or someone else who can access your academic and disciplinary records.
3. Contact this official, explain the situation, provide them with the report, and request they fill it out. Make sure to do this well in advance of the application deadline.
4. Finally, once the official completes the report, they should either mail it directly to the admissions office at Tufts, or return it to you in a sealed envelope that you can mail in with your application. If they return it to you, do not open the envelope, as it could invalidate the report.
Remember, the goal of the college report is to give Tufts a comprehensive understanding of your academic standing, personal character, and history at your present college. It doesn't require any effort beyond facilitating its completion by the appropriate college official.
Good luck with your transfer application!
