First semester freshmen are now able to register for Student Orientation, Advising and Registration (SOAR) through the MyBGSU web portal. During this one-day program you will meet with an academic advisor, and choose your classes. Completed reservations for SOAR are required.

Transfer students are eligible to register for courses with continuing BGSU students beginning mid-semester, prior to the term they wish to begin. To be advised and appropriately prepared to schedule classes, you must contact your college advising office. Talk with your advisor about placement test requirements at BGSU. Advising offices and other helpful phone numbers are found below. When contacting your college office to request an appointment, be sure to indicate that you are a fall semester transfer student.

Prior to your on-campus visit for Student Orientation, Advising and Registration (SOAR), be best prepared by visiting our online resource center, the Orientation Station. The Orientation Station includes important information, as well as a checklist of things to do and read about before and after coming to SOAR.

An official evaluation of your attempted college credits will be made by the Office of Registration and Records. Questions regarding the transfer of credit from other institutions should be directed to the Transfer Evaluation Office in the Office of Registration and Records by email at transfer@bgsu.edu or by calling 419-372-7959.

If you are currently taking classes or plan to take more classes before enrolling at BGSU, have an updated official transcript sent to BGSU as soon as the courses are completed. This will ensure an accurate evaluation of your transfer credits.

If you are still enrolled in high school or college, once you have completed your final semester of high school or college, please have those final transcripts sent to the Office of Admissions (once final grades or the degree has been posted). The mailing address is:

Office of Admissions
Bowling Green State University
