Simple tips for a smooth transfer process...
- Make an appointment with a transfer counselor in the Counseling Center.
- Determine what's important to you in selecting a transfer college:
- Public vs. private
- Cost/location/housing availability
- Is your program/major available
- How selective is the program you selected (i.e. GPA requirement)
- Identify alternative transfer colleges:
- Attend transfer day events at the college and meet with four-year college representatives
- Research colleges’ strengths and weaknesses
- Talk to counselors, faculty, your academic advisor, and other students
- Use internet search programs (look under "online resources" tab)
- Narrow your choices down to two to four colleges and investigate them further:
- Visit the transfer college(s) and take a tour
- Meet with an Admissions Counselor, inquire about transfer credit and transfer scholarships (bring an unofficial transcript)
- Talk to faculty in your program area
- If letters of recommendation are needed, make appropriate arrangements with faculty/administrators who know you well and are likely to write the strongest letters on your behalf.
- Apply no later than the deadline date(s).
- Apply for financial aid for each school as soon as possible.
- Make arrangements to have your official transcript sent from all institutions attended, not just SCCC.
