Beware of Transfer Shock • Your GPA does NOT transfer. • This is not like your previous college or university – do not assume UNCG does things the same way. • Students who use the Student Success Center, Writing Center, and Speaking Center are more likely to do better in classes and have higher GPAs. • Adult students – don’t “parent” your traditional aged peers. • If you are a transfer student coming into a program in Junior year – ask about department/faculty protocols. • Transfers – hold on to your Syllabi.
