Transfer Season is Upon Us

By: Counseling, Student Services

When community college students hear the word “transfer,” several reactions occur. Some students feel uneasy, nervous not to make a mistake on their applications. Some students are anxious, hoping to be admitted at their dream universities and colleges.  Some students are ambitious, applying to several campuses within California, both private and public. Some also consider out-of-state universities and colleges, while others apply to transfer institutions outside the U.S. In all these instances, the counselors at the transfer center and the general academic counselors are available to ease some of these tensions and assist in all that relates to transfer applications and final course planning before transfer. For students applying this year, the deadline is approaching. Visit us to learn more and strategize a good academic plan with an effective transfer timeline.
