Transfer Student Guide
Congratulations on your decision to attend McDaniel College!
You'll be a McDaniel College student in just a few months.
We can’t wait for you to get here and walk alongside you as you begin your journey on the Hill. Know that even in these uncertain times, we are preparing our campus for your arrival. The student experience at McDaniel College is one where students, staff and faculty come together in our residence halls, dining halls, study halls and virtual halls to create an active, engaged community of learners, teachers and friends.
Before you can begin your life on the hill, there are some important steps you need to take. We’ve created this checklist to guide you through the process of starting at McDaniel. Our planning assumes a traditional kick-off to the academic year, but we are also ready if the impact of COVID-19 changes our plans.
