I'm thinking of transferring to Ithaca College and was wondering about the kinds of services that are offered to help transfer students adjust. Are there dedicated advisors or resources just for us?
Yes, Ithaca College has dedicated resources to support transfer students both academically and socially.
Firstly, the college has a designated Transfer Student Resources and Advising office, which is there to help students transition smoothly to Ithaca College and assists with course scheduling, credit evaluation, and academic advising. They offer support throughout the entire transfer process, from application submission to selection of courses in the appropriate major.
In terms of social adjustment, Ithaca College also has a program called the Transfer Community, which is designed to foster a sense of community among transfer students. They offer a variety of events, like Transfer Welcome Days and Meet & Mingle, which help transfer students get to know their peers and feel part of the college community.
On a more practical note, the Career Counseling office is also available to help transfer students plan for their future careers. They offer career assessments, internship/co-op opportunities, job search assistance, and even assistance with graduate school applications.
Finally, Ithaca College does a great job making resources like counseling services, student health services, and academic tutoring available to everyone, including transfer students. These are not dedicated to transfer students only, but may prove useful if you need any assistance or support during your transition.
