Next Steps

1. Become a Pioneer and submit your enrollment deposit. From this point forward, you will receive all official communication via email from the Office of Admissions and Student Life.
2. Submit your financial documents. Before you can enroll, you must complete Certification of Finances. Please make sure that you have submitted your bank statements and Certification of Finances to Assistant Director for International Admissions Alice Schaaf, aschaaf@transy.edu.

3. Follow I-20 Instructions Once you receive your I-20 and SEVIS ID, you will need to take the next steps. A Designated School Official (DSO) will email you with full instructions.
4. The not-so-fun stuff: forms. Check back soon for important forms to fill out over the summer to complete your full enrollment at Transy. Forms will only become available after you have deposited. Submission of all forms is required for first‑year students unless otherwise indicated. You’ll get access to fill out some of those forms in the Admission Portal (transy.edu/portal/admission) once you’ve submitted your deposit. Log in with the email address and password you used in your application.
5. International Student Orientation is in August prior to New Student Move-in Day. We work hard to make sure that you are fully prepared to be successful on our campus. The two-day international student orientation is designed to make you feel more comfortable on campus and in the Lexington community. You will have plenty of opportunities to become familiar with the campus and surrounding community, make sure you have all the academic materials and dorm items you need and attend academic sessions.

• And much more

I Have Questions About…

We know you probably have a million questions about what to do now that you’re admitted to Transy. We’ve tried to answer many of those here:

When do I need to make my final college decision?
You can make your college decision and ultimately send in your enrollment deposit at anytime, but the earlier the better. The sooner you deposit, the better chance you’ll have at early class registration and early selection of residence halls. Don’t wait too long, as choices do become limited.

How do I submit the $350 deposit?
The $350 deposit reserves your space in our incoming class. To submit, you can send a check with the enclosed deposit card and reply envelope, or pay online by electronic check, Master Card, Discover or American Express.
Select ‹Kentucky›, ‹Transylvania University› and ‹Enrollment Deposit.› No login or password is required.
You will need your name, your Account Holder ID# provided in the admissions letter and the last four digits of your SSN.

When will I know my out‑of‑pocket cost to attend Transylvania University?
Your international admissions counselor will provide you with your admission letter and financial package to attend Transylvania. If you have any questions, please reach out to Alice Schaaf.

Are there other forms I need to fill out?
There are a handful of documents you will complete over the summer to help us prepare for your arrival in August. Once you submit your deposit, we’ll direct you to more information on our website.

How are you handling COVID-19 on campus?
Transy has developed a thorough plan to keep our community as safe as possible during the COVID-19 pandemic. Read our Healthy at Transy guidelines to learn about the protocols we have in place for housing, dining, cleaning and more.
