Transfer students represent a significant opportunity for both
institutions and students. Apparently, Apex State University is
encountering a serious fall in student registration which on the
other hand has an impact on total tuition income. Therefore as
the director in charge of enrollment management, I will present
a paper detailing transfer policies and procedures. The essence
is to break down to the president how the process is operated,
whom the stakeholders are, their departments and positions, the
chain of command in terms of whom they answer to and what
kind of resistance can be expected.
First and foremost, college and university administrators are
bound to develop a more coherent as well as an integrated view
of the environment they inhabit in order to be more effective as

and procedures in transfer student enrollment, an individual
must apply for admission to the university. In summary, the
