Checklist for Deposited Transfer Students

Students may transfer to Luther at the beginning of fall semester, January Term, or spring semester. Regardless of when you start, here’s what will happen.

Once you have deposited and submitted your final official transcripts, the Office of the Registrar will review your transcript and assign any necessary placement exams. You will receive emails about housing, placement tests, and class registration.

Luther is a residential college by design. We believe the best environment for learning is one where students not only study and attend classes on campus, but also live on campus. Upper-class students have a number of residential community options on campus, including college-owned houses, apartments, and townhouses, or clusters and suites in on-campus residence halls.

Upper-Class Housing

Fall Welcome Week, which takes place between move-in and the first week of class, is for all new students, including transfer students! You’ll have an opportunity to engage with faculty, staff, and new students from all around the world.

Transfer students beginning January term or spring term will be invited to a Mid-Year Welcome program.
