Academic Advising for Transfer Students
Many Chesapeake College students continue their education by transferring college credits to a four-year college or university. However, one of the biggest problems students face when moving onto a four year college is the acceptance of their transfer credits. Many worry that the hard work they have done to complete their classes will not carry over to the new institution they have chosen. That is why we offer aid to help make the most out of your education. Below is a set of important questions to consider when looking at a new school.
- What do I need to know before I start searching for a four year college or university?
- What do I look for in a transfer college/university?
- Where can I go to gather information about four year colleges and universities?
- Is there an online tool that can help me in the transfer process?
- How do I apply to a four year college/university?
- Is there anything else I might want to know about transferring before making a final decision?
Finding the answers to these questions will enable you to make a successful transfer without losing credits or time.
Schedule an advising appointment to discuss academic majors, long-term academic planning, career options, and other advising-related issues. Advisors are a great help in transfer services, and work to help you make the most of continuing your education.
