I'm gathering materials for my transfer to Tulane and I’m stuck on the college report. Does anyone have tips or advice on how to approach this part of the application?
The College Report is a standardized form that Tulane, and many other colleges, use to gain further information from transfer applicants and their current or most recent college. This report is typically completed by a college official such as an academic advisor, dean, or registrar at your current or most recent institution.
The purpose of this report is to verify your academic and disciplinary standing at your previous institution. Basically, Tulane wants to ensure that you're not leaving your current institution due to academic or disciplinary problems. The report will ask about your academic status, disciplinary history, and eligibility to return to your current institution.
To tackle this part of the transfer application, first, find out who the appropriate person would be to complete this report at your school. Then, reach out to them with plenty of time before the application deadline, as they may need several days or weeks to process your request.
Next, be sure to double-check any information where you're asked to add details. Accuracy is key here as incorrect information could delay the processing of your application. Once you're sure everything is accurate, submit the report within Tulane's given deadlines.
Also, keep in mind that this is just one part of the transfer application, and Tulane, like many universities, takes a holistic approach when evaluating transfer candidates. So, the College Report, your transcript, essays, recommendation letters, and other application materials will all play a significant role in your application. Good luck with your transfer application process!
