Community College Transfer Success
With the costs of college rising, we have found that a majority of students would prefer to complete their first one or two years in a local community college program before transferring to a four year university. As part of our services, we provide community college advising throughout the first two years of a students program to insure a successful transfer to their planned university program. This includes registering for classes that count towards their future degree and the complete transfer application process.
