Do you have any on-campus events specifically for transfer students?
Yes. The Rosemont College Transfer Student Visit Days will offer you the opportunity to receive an immediate assessment of your transfer credits by one of our transfer counselors, to meet personally with a financial aid counselor, and to receive an “on the spot” admission decision if you bring the neccessary documents.
Is on-campus student housing available for transfer students?
Yes, although it is important that you apply and submit your college transcripts to the Rosemont College Office of Admissions as early in the process as possible in order to be assured of a place in on-campus student housing.
What is the biggest challenge for students transferring to Rosemont College?
It varies depending on the student, but a key concern is that you are able to balance responsibilities as an adult and that you understand the financial aid process.
