While there will be several events open to all students, there will also be an event for faculty and staff who work with transfer students. On Wednesday, October 21, the Academic Advising and Transfer Center will be hosting a transfer-themed advisor forum.

As part of National Transfer Student Week, join us for a virtual advisor forum featuring representatives from two-year institutions in Missouri. Through a facilitated discussion, panelists will share their perspectives on academic advising, the student experience, common transfer questions and students’ transition from a two-year to a four-year institution. We’ll also explore how receiving institutions can better support advisors and their students throughout the transfer process. This conversation is an opportunity to share ideas, strengthen our partnerships and work together to create a more seamless transfer experience for students. Registration is encouraged.

Register for Fall 2026 advisor forums

In addition to the events above, the Office of Admissions is offering prospective transfer students the opportunity to apply for admission to Missouri State for free during National Transfer Student Week (October 19-23). Students who are interested in receiving the code for the application fee waiver can email Admissions@MissouriState.edu or watch the @MoStateTransfer Instagram, where the fee waiver code will be shared on October 16. This opportunity is only available October 19-23.
