Transfer Student Profiles

Name: Khadijah Johnson

Major/Minor: Media Studies/ Marketing

Where did you transfer from? Southwestern Illinois College- Belleville

What did you like about the transfer process? I really like how easily all of my credits transferred over. I was able to get a job on campus extremely fast and everyone on campus was/is friendly.

Anything additional you would like to add? Be wise when choosing classes. Pick classes that interest you that you know you'll use in the future. Don't be scared to think outside the box. UMSL has really taught me that school isn't meant to be depressing. Learning should be fun but still allow you to grow in every aspect of your life.  

Name: Nicole Gaehle

Major/Minor: Information Systems/ Cybersecurity

Where did you transfer from? St. Louis Community College - Meramec

What did you like about the transfer process? I really like how easy it was to make the transfer. It was surprisingly a great success with the assistance of Christy Hummel. I give a big thank you to her as she was extremely knowledgeable and was willing to assist me in my transition.

Anything additional you would like to add? Be open and wise when choosing your major/minor. Go with your passion and don't be afraid to ask questions. Most people are not open about this but I found that being open about a disability helps you and your advisor in the process of choosing classes. Yes some classes are tough but you can overcome it and become an UMSL Triton in just a few easy steps.

What did you like about the transfer process? It was organized, refined, and easy as tapping buttons. There were a few bureaucratic snags, but the friendly staff of Transfer Services at UMSL supported me through. Couldn’t have done it without them.
