Transfer Support at Hunter College

If I transfer to Hunter College, what kind of support do they provide for transfer students? I'm hoping they have resources that can help make the transition smoother.

Hunter College is committed to supporting transfer students and ensuring they have a smooth transition. To start, Hunter has a dedicated Transfer Resource Center (TRC) which supports transfer students at every step of their academic journey. This center acts as a hub for academic and career advising, social events, workshops, and more.

Once you've been accepted, you'll be required to attend a mandatory Transfer Orientation. At this event, you'll get an overview of the college’s resources, be walked through how to read your Transfer Credit Evaluation, learn about advising resources, and more. This is an excellent opportunity to get a feel for the campus, meet other transfer students, and understand the academic culture.

The TRC works closely with academic advisors who are adept at helping transfer students navigate course enrollment, degree requirements, and assessing how your credits will transfer over. Once classes begin, ongoing support continues with workshops focused on academic success, career readiness, and various topics tailored to transfer students' needs.

Altogether, these resources can significantly smooth your transition, ensuring your existing credits are well utilized and you're on track for your academic goals. Also, the events planned by the TRC offer many opportunities to meet fellow transfer students and establish a sense of community. As a transfer student at Hunter College, you won't be on your own; they are fully equipped to provide the support you need to be successful.
