Transfer Procedure
If you are considering transferring out of Bates to another institution and require documentation such as the CommonApp College Report, please submit the Transfer Information Release Form, attaching relevant documentation, at least five (5) business days prior to the due date.
All schools on the list provided will receive the attached form; if an institution has a different requirement, please submit a separate request for each unique form.
The Registrar’s Office cannot provide disciplinary records or letters of recommendation; those requests should be directed to Student Affairs and/or Academic or Student Support Advisors.
Official transcript requests are processed through Parchment, Inc., and may be ordered through the Garnet Gateway by clicking on the “Transcripts” link. The Registrar’s Office cannot process requests outside of this platform.
If you have questions regarding specific requirements of your transfer application, please reach out to the Admissions Department of the institutions to which you are applying.
If you decide to transfer out of Bates to another institution, you must complete the appropriate Withdrawal Form to update your status with the college.
