Transfer Student Guide

In addition to the steps above, your Transfer Student Guide provides you with important information as you transition your academic career to the Hill.

Finishing your File: Believe it or not, you aren’t quite done with the Office of Admissions yet (we know, we know.) Click here to review the list and request that any applicable to you are sent to the Office of Admissions as soon as possible. In some cases, you may not be able to stay enrolled if we don’t receive them.

A Family Discussion: If you would like to authorize us to share your education records with parents or others, you must complete the Release of Student Information Form. To submit the form, complete the following steps:

• Download the Release of Student Information Form.
• Return the completed form to the Registrar’s Office in person, or scan/photograph and email to regoffice@mcdaniel.edu from the student’s McDaniel email account.

Housing Overview: Most new transfer students live in Daniel MacLea Hall. See an overview of residence halls here.

Parking: Parking Permits cost $300 per year. You will indicate your desire to secure a parking permit in your Housing and Roommate Matching Survey. In August, a lottery will be held and first-year students will be awarded parking permits through the lottery process. In prior years, over 90% of first-year students who entered the lottery were awarded a parking permit. Commuter students are guaranteed on-campus parking.

Special Housing Requests: On occasion, students have medical or other concerns that require special room assignments. To make a request, visit https://mcdaniel.erezlife.com and log in with your McDaniel username and password. On the left menu bar, click on “Bulletins & resources” and then click on “Resources”, and download the special housing request form. Forms should be submitted to the Office of Residence Life.
