Transfer StudentsSpring 2020

Code of Love and Honor.I am Miami.

I believe that a liberal education is grounded in qualities of character and intellect.

I stand for honesty, integrity, and the importance of moral conduct.

I respect the dignity, rights, and property of others and their right to hold and express disparate beliefs.

I defend the freedom of inquiry that is the heart of learning.

I exercise good judgment and believe in personal responsibility.

I welcome a diversity of people, ideas, and experiences.

I embrace the spirit, academic rigor, opportunities, and challenges of a Miami Experience, preparing me to make the world a better place.

I demonstrate Love and Honor by supporting and caring for my fellow Miamians.

And because I Am Miami, I act through my words and deeds in ways that reflect these values and beliefs.

With a deep sense of accomplishment and gratitude, I will Love, Honor, and make proud those who help me earn the joy and privilege of saying,

“To think that in such a place, I led such a life.”

Miami’s Code of Love and Honor articulates our shared values and expectations as a university community. The phrase comes from our fight song chorus, “Love and Honor to Miami.”

Miami is a residential school, with almost all of our students living in university housing or in Oxford’s square mile. It’s a place custom-made to call home for your unforgettable Miami years. Small enough to see friendly faces everywhere you turn, and big enough to feel like you’re a world away. You’ll find a sense of community here that’s hard to describe until you live it.

Find your fit in university housing.When you live in university housing, it’s not just about the building, it’s really about your community inside the building. Studies show that students who live in university housing perform better academically and participate more fully in campus life.

Because of these benefits, eligible full-time transfer students live in university housing unless:

• They live with their parent(s), legal guardian, spouse, or dependent children.

• They are over 21 years of age prior to the start of classes.

• They have matriculated full time for at least two years at another institution of higher education.

While housing is not guaranteed for students 21 years of age or older or for students who have completed at least two years full time at another institution post-high school, we typically have space to house everyone who is interested in living in university housing.

Whether you live in university housing or not, you can dig into the meals at Miami’s award-winning dining services. Yes, the food is really that good! Find out more at MiamiOH.edu/mealplans.

THE CLASSIC COLLEGIATE EXPERIENCE IN THE PERFECT COLLEGE TOWN

Miami Traditions

THE UPHAM ARCHMany Miami couples attest that if you stand underneath the Upham Hall arch’s light at midnight and kiss your sweetheart, you’re destined to marry each other.

THE SUNDIALLegend has it that if you rub the heads of the turtles holding up the Sundial’s base, you’ll enjoy good luck on upcoming tests.

THE MIAMI SEALStudents avoid stepping on the Miami University Seal in the center of campus, believing it keeps them from failing their next exam.

Since our founding in 1809, Miami students have created many traditions they have passed down to the generations that follow. Here are a few of our more famous ones.

Transfer Student OrientationThe Office of Orientation and Transition Programs offers two orientation options for transfer students: Transfer One-Day Orientations and January Orientation. Attending orientation will help you become more confident, comfortable, connected, and curious as a Miami student. You will learn about campus resources and involvement opportunities, discover Miami’s history and traditions, meet other new transfer students, connect with faculty and staff members, and register for classes. Not all academic divisions will be available at every Transfer One-Day Orientation, so you’ll want to make sure you register for a day when your division is present.

If you cannot attend a Transfer One-Day Orientation, you are required to attend January Orientation.

To learn more about orientation or to register to attend, please visit MiamiOH.edu/orientation.

Special opportunities for transfer students

Meet other new transfer students before classes start at the Transfer and Relocation Student Social.

1. Why is a final transcript required if I’ve already been accepted?Miami’s offer of acceptance is based upon review of all prior university coursework and if applicable, your high school transcript, including grades from coursework in which you may be currently enrolled. Also, your final transcript must demonstrate your consistent effort in maintaining your grade point average (GPA). It is understood that you must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.00 in all college coursework. If your final transcript shows that you did not meet this expectation, if you are suspended, dismissed, or placed on probation by your school, or if you are convicted of a criminal offense other than a minor traffic incident or such charges are pending against you prior to your attendance, Miami University reserves the right to withdraw the offer of admission. Your transcript must be received in the Office of International & Transfer Admission by January 13, 2020 for students starting in the spring.

2. What resources and opportunities are available for students who are military-affiliated?In partnership with the Student Veterans Association, Miami provides a network of support to military-affiliated students. We work to meet the needs of student veterans and prospective student veterans; cultivate student veterans’ concerns through scheduled meetings, advocacy, social opportunities, and recreational activities; foster esprit de corps among student veterans; promote an understanding of student veterans’ issues; and provide a resource for student veterans to ease the transition into student life. Students are also able to meet with members of our Student Success Center staff to help with the transition to Miami. Visit MiamiOH.edu/transfer/veterans for more information.

3. What transportation services are available?Students can utilize the Butler County Regional Transit Authority bus service, which runs regular routes on campus and in Oxford. It also offers limited shuttle service to major airports for Thanksgiving break, winter break, and spring break. You can also contact the Airport Shuttle Service at 513-896-6605 for transportation to the Cincinnati or Dayton airport. For more information on transportation services, please visit MiamiOH.edu/parking/transportation.

SCHOLARSHIPS AND FINANCIAL AID

New transfer students admitted for either the fall or spring semester will be considered for merit and need-based scholarship opportunities. Eligibility is determined at the time of admission.

Students not meeting the transfer application deadline of December 1 for spring enrollment will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Students attending a regional campus or who have already earned a bachelor’s degree are not eligible.
