Verify accreditation of the university you want to obtain your degree from before requesting transcripts. According to Useducation.com, "If the school you attend is not properly accredited, you may find that your degree is not recognized in the United States or in many other countries around the world, or by other universities, professional associations, employers, and government ministries and departments."
Apply to the school you plan on transferring to. There are requirements you have to meet before you can be considered a transfer student. Some of the requirements are you must obtain a certain amount of credit hours and GPA prior to being accepted by the institution. The number of credit hours and GPA can vary per school. If you are attending school in another state you will want to establish residency status with the university. Your residency will determine how much you will pay in school fees and the type of financial assistance you can receive. Residency requirements can vary whether you are a dependent or independent student.
Request transcripts from all the universities you have previously attended to be transferred to your new institution. Transcripts can be requested in person and you may be required to pay a small fee. Some universities will allow you to request your transcripts via their website. Check with the previous institution's to verify how to make a request for transcripts.
Submit official transcripts to the university you will be attending. In order for the transcript to be official it must be stamped with the university's seal and on official background paper. You can request transcripts to be mailed to the institution or they can be hand-carried by you. If you choose to deliver them yourself, the transcripts must remain in the sealed envelope. Do not open the envelope for any reason or it will be considered unofficial and you will have to repeat the process again.
Check with the registrar's office of the school you will be attending to verify if all your college credits will be accepted by them. All courses may not be accepted due to the university limiting the amount of courses you can transfer.
