Advice from college and university advisors and counselors:

Advising

Get in touch with an advisor at the college or university as early as you possibly can--the sooner the better.  Ask a billion questions and leave no stone unturned.

Dream Job

What will you need for your dream job?  Which university or college will give you the education your will need for your dream job?

Preparation

Excellent preparation for your major is very important. As you take courses at Collin that will apply to your major you are laying a foundation for success when you transfer.

Embrace Change

Transferring to a new college can mean a lot of change in routines and perceptions.  Don’t worry if you make mistakes.  Rather, expect them and use them to help you learn.

E-mail

If you provide prospective colleges with your e-mail address, let them know if you have changed it.  Colleges are leaning more toward email communication with prospective students.

Application

Stay on top of your application process.  Don’t take for granted that the college has received all of your admission materials.

Plan B

What if you don’t get into the college or university you have your heart set upon?  What if you aren’t accepted into your chosen major at that college?  Apply to more that one college or university that will fit your needs, and you’ll be prepared if you have to shift to “Plan B.”
