New Undergraduate Transfer Students

Please provide copies of all final, official transcripts. Transcripts must be sent directly from the external college or university. We cannot accept transcripts from students.

Welcome to Stevens!

Below are some reminders and tools to prepare you for your first semester.

As a first semester undergraduate transfer student, you will work closely with the Office of Undergraduate Academics and your designated academic advisor regarding your transfer coursework and first-semester schedule.

Once you have submitted your enrollment deposit, your transfer credit evaluation (TCE) will be sent to you and to your academic advisor for review. Your advisor will then create a first-semester schedule tailored for you and the Office of the Registrar will register you for your courses.

If you have questions about this process or the status of your transfer credits, please contact [email protected]. Please use your Stevens email and include your student ID number in any communications.

Workday Onboarding and Holds

All incoming students are required to complete the Workday onboarding tasks. To complete your onboarding, you must specify an emergency contact. When entering your parent, guardian or next of kin, please check the “emergency contact” option. Failure to do so will result in your onboarding tasks remaining incomplete.

It is also important to review and understand any holds on your Workday account. Holds can be added to your account for several reasons, but each hold will include a description and instructions for resolution. Please contact the appropriate office with any questions or to resolve outstanding holds.
