Transfer Tip -- Get academic advising

Most students want to transfer from one school to another painlessly, without losing credit they have already earned. Collin has academic advisors who are trained to help you define your short- and long-term goals.

They can help you make the right decisions about which courses to take when you are preparing to transfer and can help you interpret college and university requirements. Getting help from Collin academic advisors in addition to making contacts at your transfer school is the best way to make your transition as smooth as possible.

For more information, call Transfer Programs at 972.985.3734 or visit http://transferu.ccccd.edu
