Internal Transfer Requirements

Internal Transfer Requirements

Congratulations on your internal transfer admission to the Moody College of Communication! 

We know you're excited to start planning next steps, but you will not be able to meet with a Moody Advisor until you have completed all steps listed below. Once all steps are complete, our advisors will be available for brief, schedule-related questions beginning on July 1. Availability of advising meetings, either by appointment or through drop-ins, is extremely limited during the summer as our advisors are assisting with orientation. Please read this page thoroughly and follow the instructions to prepare fully to meet with an advisor. 

In order to finalize your internal transfer to Moody, you must complete all the following requirements through these steps:

1. Fill out the Major Change Form located in your Internal Transfer Student Portal that you can access by clicking or tapping here. Your confirmation to either add or replace your major should reflect what was selected in your application. This must be completed by August 1, 2024. 
2. Read through the information related to Moody general education requirements. This must be completed by August 1, 2024.
3. Read through and become familiar with the information related to your Moody major. This must be completed by August 1, 2024.
   • Advertising
   • Communication and Leadership
   • Communication Studies
   • Journalism
   • Public Relations
   • Radio-Television-Film
   • Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences
4. Complete the Moody College Internal Transfer Acknowledgement here.  This must be completed by August 1, 2024.
5. Drop-in advising is available starting July 1, 2024 if you have urgent questions regarding the Fall 2024 semester. Follow these instructions to visit drop-ins. **If you have not yet completed steps one through four, you may not be seen by an advisor.**
6. You should enroll in COM 301E for spring 2025 during your next add/drop period. You will only be able to access COM 301E during spring semesters, so it's URGENT that you add it for spring 2025. If you do not add it and pass it successfully (a C- or higher) in spring 2025, your next opportunity to take COM 301E will be spring 2025. Not completing this requirement in a timely manner could delay your graduation. You should then plan to take COM 302E in the summer or fall semester. 
7. Make an appointment to see your new Moody Academic Advisor after July 19th.  It may take several days after completing the above steps, but you will be granted access to the our appointment scheduling system in order to meet with a Moody College academic advisor. During a scheduled appointment, an academic advisor can help you with long-term degree planning which we cannot cover during a drop-in meeting.

We are so excited for you to join us in fall!  You’re about to join a community of talented students, creative change makers, and incredible and supportive staff and faculty – all here to help you grow as a person and a global leader!
