I'm gearing up to transfer from Sierra College and want to make sure I use all available resources. Anyone know what's offered, like workshops, guidance programs, or online tools? Wondering what's most helpful in the whole process.
Sierra College provides a number of resources to support students in their transfer journey. Their Career and Transfer Connections center offers numerous services to make the transition as smooth as possible. One of the most valuable resources is the Transfer Center, which provides one-on-one advising with a transfer counselor. They can give you detailed advice and coaching on your transfer process, such as course planning, transfer admission guarantee programs, and how to handle UC and CSU applications.
Furthermore, Sierra College has built relationships with 4-year colleges and universities offering transfer guarantees or priority admission consideration, such as UC Davis, Sac State, and others. Check out their TAG (Transfer Admission Guarantee) program and see if the intended transfer school is on the list.
There's also the Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) programs offered at Sierra to ensure a smooth transition as these degrees guarantee admission to a CSU in a similar major. This can be a less stressful pathway if you already know the field you want to major in.
Lastly, Sierra typically hosts a yearly transfer fair in the Fall where students can meet with admission representatives from many four-year institutions. Remember, stay in regular contact with the transfer center as deadlines and requirements can change from year to year.
These resources can be incredibly helpful, but what's most useful will depend on your specific circumstances and needs. It's a good idea to start by setting up a meeting with a transfer advisor to outline your goals and plan your best course of action.
