Transfer Students

Transferring to another school (before or during a new academic year) can be stressful in a student’s life, as financial aid awards do not automatically transfer over to a new school. This checklist allows you to navigate the transfer process with minimal hassle.

• Add Goldey-Beacom College’s federal school code (001429) to your 2026-27 FAFSA.
  Complete the admissions process by submitting all previous college transcripts to your
  admissions representative.
• Review your transfer credit evaluation with your academic advisor or admissions
  representative to ensure you understand the number of credits you receive as a transfer
  student. The number of transfer credits you receive determines your grade level for financial
  aid packaging.
• Review your financial aid offer and schedule a meeting with the Financial Aid Office to discuss
  your financial aid package. Transfer students may have a different financial aid package than
  traditional students due to their previous financial aid history at other institutions.
• Using the financial aid student portal, accept or decline your financial aid awards before the
  semester begins.
• Start your classes and make the best of your time at GBC!
