Prepare to Transfer

Now that you are getting ready to graduate with your AA, there is no need to reapply or pay another application fee. Just follow these steps to officially transfer to FIU.

1. Speak with a Bridge Advisor

Before you do anything, meet with a Bridge Advisor to get support as you take the final steps in your transition. Your Bridge Advisor can confirm if you’ve met the requirements to update your application (30 credits earned) or begin your final transition to FIU (last term at your partner college).

2. Update Your Application

When you have earned 30 credits, log into your  MyFIU student account to reactivate your FIU application. Here's how to do it:

  1. Log into  MyFIU. See  Access MyFIU for help.
    • If you know your password, you are required to enroll in Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) before proceeding. Go to: AskIT Help.
    • If you cannot retrieve your password, call FIU IT Customer Support at 305-348-2284, and choose Option #2 (Connect4Success students). After retrieving your password, enroll in 2FA. Go to AskIT Help.
  2. On the dashboard, click the Admissions tile.
  3. Click on "Connect4Success Application" on the left navigation bar.
  4. Follow the form prompt to update all required fields and submit.

3. Submit Your Transcripts

Send an official transcript from the state college you are currently attending. It’s OK if you’re still taking classes, we will request that you send a final transcript after you graduate with your AA degree. Follow steps to Submit Transcripts.

4. Attend "Transition to FIU" Workshop

Plan to attend a Transition to FIU workshop held  during each Fall and Spring term. Here, you’ll receive hands-on transition support from FIU staff in Admissions, Financial Aid, and Transfer and Transition Services.  Learn more about Connect4Success workshops.

5. Apply for Financial Aid

Visit the FIU  Scholarship Search and Honors College website to browse transfer scholarships you might be eligible to receive. See what Scholarships are available to transfer students as well.

Complete a new or renewal FAFSA application at fafsa.gov, and include the Federal School Code for FIU (009635). FIUs priority deadline is March 1. If you are starting classes in Early Fall (Summer B) you must submit 2 FAFSA applications, one for Early Fall (which is considered the prior academic year) and another for the upcoming academic year.

6. Submit Deposit and Register for Orientation

Follow the Admitted student checklist for more information.  Please also be sure to complete everything needed to participate in your Advising and Registration Day prior to your first semester at FIU.
