• Developed by you and a counselor
• Transfer Comprehensive Ed Plan
Transfer Tip: Meet with your Transfer Counselor at least once per semester.
Ed Planning for Transfer
• Consider the "load" you are taking on:
• Full-time school = 12 semester units = 3 to 4 classes
• 1 unit = 1 hour of class per week (usually)
• Study time/week = 2-3 hours per unit
• Work outside of school: Ideally < 20 hours/week
Transfer Tip: Maintaining a high/competitive GPA is IMPORTANT!
Ed Planning for Transfer
• Transfer Universities do not consider how long it takes you to complete your Major Preparation or General Education units in the admissions process.
• Education Planning for Transfer is like putting together a puzzle that is different for each student depending on major, transfer goals, and interests.
• Transfer goals are not always a "2-year" plan
Transfer Tip: Complete Major Preparation and a high GPA make you most competitive.
