<h5>Transferring as a declared major</h5>
<p>All Trinity students complete a preliminary four-year plan (aka the What-If Report) as part of the major declaration process; similarly, prospective Trinity students are required to do the same as part of the application to transfer from Pratt. Completing the What-If Report requires you to do some preparatory work—checking out major requirements on the department/program website and possibly meeting with your prospective major’s director of undergraduate studies—to see whether you can complete your prospective major and Trinity general education requirements during your remaining time at Duke. <a href="/sites/default/files/Guide_to_completing_LRP_1.26.17%255B1%255D_0.pdf" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="53c9c7c2-f290-4a59-aab7-c8eef9cd59cb">Guide to completing the Long Range Plan</a>.</p>
<p>Once you’ve completed the What-If Report, you need to schedule a meeting with your new Trinity academic dean. Academic deans in Trinity are assigned based on your first-year residence hall. You can get your dean assignment from Dean McMillian or by calling the Academic Advising Center at 919-684-6217. If you have any questions about completing the What-If Report, or any other elements of Step 2, please do not hesitate to contact your prospective Trinity academic dean for assistance.</p>
<h5>Transferring as an undeclared student</h5>
<p>Schedule a meeting with the academic dean you will have after transferring to Trinity College by calling (919) 684-6217. Inform the receptionist that you are a Pratt student interested in transferring to Trinity College as an undeclared student. Academic deans in Trinity are assigned based on your first-year residence hall. You can get your Trinity dean assignment from Dean McMillian; if you have not, let the receptionist know your first-year residence hall and she can look up who your dean will be. When you meet with the dean, you should discuss your interests and goals to help identify courses that would be appropriate for you to explore. Having one major in mind is certainly not necessary, but it is helpful to come as prepared as possible to this meeting in order to have a productive discussion.</p>
