When do universities typically send out offers of admission for January transfer students?

I've applied for a transfer for the coming January term. I understand the University to which I'm applying wants to see my second midterm grades before sending me a conditional offer, and I won't know for sure until after my finals (mid December). I'm just wondering when I can expect to get some sort of response to my application? This is simply so that I know when to start thinking about living and travel arrangements.
