Has anyone attended a transfer workshop at Cerritos College? I'm considering going to one to help with my transfer process. Are they useful, and what kind of info do they generally provide?
The transfer workshops at Cerritos College are reportedly quite helpful for students looking to navigate the complex process of school transfer. They generally provide extensive information on the various aspects of transferring, including how to choose a new school, the application process, deadlines, writing essays, requirements for certain majors, and financial aid.
Those workshops typically give you an idea of what transfer prerequisites look like and what GPA you should be aiming for, as well as what things can make you a competitive applicant. If there are certain colleges you're specifically interested in, they'll usually go over those details as well. Some workshops may even have representatives from four-year universities who provide insight into their specific programs.
From what I've heard, attendees of these workshops usually find them enlightening especially in understanding the transfer timeline and what steps they should take when. You'll also learn how to utilize Assist.org and other online tools to research your major requirements at the UCs, CSUs, and independent/private/out-of-state universities. I'd say it's worth going to one, particularly if you feel unsure about any aspect of the transfer process.
