Pre-Advising Checklist: I'm Completing a Transfer Degree

If you are transferring to the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith, refer to the NPC-to-UAFS Pre-Graduation Transfer Degree Checklist and meet with the NPC faculty mentor shown for your degree on the checklist or with an NPC academic advisor before you register for classes.

If you are transferring to a university other than UAFS, follow the steps below before you register for classes:

Preparing to Transfer

  • Visit the transfer school website for more information.
  • Remember that you may need to also apply to the specific program you wish to study.

  • Learn more about transfer scholarships.
  • If you are a U.S. military veteran, you must activate your veterans' benefits. Contact the veterans' benefits office at the transfer school as soon as you complete the FAFSA.

  • Send your official NPC transcript.
  • Check the school's application and/or catalog to determine what other transcripts you may need to send.

Important Tips

  • Participate in transfer/new student registration and orientation. Orientation will help you make a smooth transition and meet new people.
  • Watch for your billing statement. It is extremely important that you make your payment by the due date.
  • Find out about extracurricular activities. The first few weeks on campus, take time to find out about all of the activities, clubs, and events on campus. 

Transfer Tips

  • Contact the transfer advisor at transfer@np.edu or 501-760-4373 if you have any questions.
  • Look for NPC transfer event announcements on the NPC website, campus calendar, campus monitors, and D2L.
