Is it common to transfer from Nassau Community College to LIU?

I'm looking into starting at Nassau Community College with the goal of transferring to Long Island University. Does anyone know if this is a common or smooth transfer?

Many community college students successfully transfer to four-year colleges and universities, and that includes transfers from Nassau Community College to Long Island University (LIU). This transfer is quite possible, and guidance counselors at both schools should be available to help you navigate the process.

It's important to carefully select your classes at Nassau Community College so that they align with LIU’s curriculum and to check which of your credits will transfer. LIU has a Transfer Evaluation System on their website, which allows you to see how credits from previous colleges (including Nassau Community College) may be accepted.

It's also recommended that you connect with an admissions counselor from LIU early on in your community college career. They can provide guidance and ensure that, when the time comes to apply for transfer admission, you have fulfilled all the required pre-requisites and meet the GPA requirements for LIU.

Additionally, you might want to look into articulation agreements between these two institutions. Many community colleges have these agreements with larger institutions, which ensure a smoother transfer process.

Remember to maintain a good GPA at Nassau Community College, as an impressive academic record can strengthen your application when you're ready to transfer. Transfer admissions can be quite competitive, so maintaining academic excellence can make a substantial difference.
