FAQs
Can I get a list of which classes will transfer and what classes I have left to complete for my major?
Determining how credits transfer can vary from student to student. The first step to finding out how your credits will be counted at Nebraska and what requirements you have yet to fulfill is to make an appointment with your Academic Advisor to go over your degree audit. We encourage students to meet with their advisors early and often to ensure on-time graduation.
Students can also contact Kenneth Moss, Academic Transfer Coordinator at 402-472-9455 or kenneth.moss@unl.edu
Where can I go for academic support help (tutoring, mentoring etc.)?
The Study Stop program offers free tutoring for Nebraska students Monday through Thursday nights from 7-9 pm in the Hall Learning Commons. Check the schedule containing the subject areas for which tutoring is available each night.

How can I get connected to other students?
The Transfer Peer Mentor Program matches new transfer students with a student that transferred to Nebraska and has attended at least two semesters. Transfer Peer Mentors communicate with new transfers via email and plan small group events. Your mentor can help you adjust to life at Nebraska, get connected to other transfer students, and identify other resources that may be of use to you. To be matched with a Transfer Peer Mentor, complete the brief form at https://success.unl.edu/transfer/transfer-peer-mentors/match
You can also get connected to other students who have similar academic or personal interests by joining a Recognized Student Organization! We now have an organization just for transfer students. The Transfer Assistance Community (TAC) is excited to have you join us! Go to https://involved.unl.edu/student-organizations to find out about TAC and other student organizations.
Where can I search for scholarships and find out about financial aid?
