Overview and Resources for College Transfer Students
There are many reasons students choose to transfer to a new college. Whether it is a community college transfer or a lateral transfer, great opportunities lie ahead! Preparing for a transfer major is a bit different than applying as a freshman. Colleges have different rules on how many units are transferable. They want to know if you are prepared to commit to a major and have the prerequisites for a smooth transition. Your old SAT or ACT scores may be required - or maybe not! Residential housing may have dorms specifically for mature transfer students, and other campuses may not guarantee housing. If you are wishing to explore a transfer, be sure to speak with a transfer expert who can guide you through this process.
