Essential Transfer Information

The following information is a brief overview of what students are advised to complete in order to transfer successfully:

• See a Counselor at least once each semester to serve as your guide to the transfer process.
• Counselors can assist in researching careers and majors that will fit with the student's personal interests and abilities.
• Research college campuses that have the selected major and fits the lifestyle the student would like in a four-year college or university. Arrange to visit these institutions.
• Develop an educational plan with a Counselor that will serve as map to transfer.
• Ascertain if the planned college or university has a guaranteed admission agreement.

• Complete the major preparation course work with the required G.P.A., which will prepare the student for admission to the chosen major at the junior level.
• Apply to the college or university of your choice within the posted deadlines. Failure to apply early in the application period may negatively affect your ability to transfer.
• Apply for the Associate Degree if applicable.
• Once accepted to a college or university, have the general education pattern certified as complete by the evaluations office.
• Forward final grades to the university as soon as they have been posted to the transcript.
