Counseling Appointment

Image

Meeting with a Transfer Counselor is a key step in building a strong and intentional transfer plan. A counseling appointment gives you clarity, direction, and support, so you can make informed decisions about your major, your universities of interest, and the courses you need to take. Our goal is to help you move through the transfer process with confidence, accuracy, and a clear sense of purpose.

During your appointment, we will work with you to:

• Understand university and major requirements
• Create an educational plan that aligns with your transfer goals
• Ensure your coursework is strategic and transferable
• Connect you with university representatives, events, and resources
• Provide guidance on timelines, applications, and next steps
