Transferring to Pasadena City College

I'm considering transferring to Pasadena City College. What should I know about the application process, and how easy is the transition in terms of credits transferring? Any tips from current or former students?

It sounds like you're keen on making informed moves—appreciating your initiative here! Generally speaking, when intending to transfer to another college, it's crucial to know how each of your credits will transfer to the new school. The good news is that Pasadena City College (PCC) has an online tool where you can check how your credits will be transferred from other colleges, which is super helpful.

As for the application process, keep a close eye on deadlines, make sure that you have all necessary documents (like transcripts), and consider reaching out to their admissions office to get specific tips tailored to your situation.

Many people have found that the transition to PCC is smooth, but it can vary depending on individual experiences. You'll certainly want to take time to familiarize yourself with the campus, maybe even visit beforehand if you're able to do so. Also, look into resources available to transfer students; they often offer excellent support during this transition.

Hearing from prior PCC transferees will provide you with the nuances of the day-to-day student life. However, consider that these experiences will vary with each individual. Don't hesitate to address your concerns with the admissions office as they would provide you with the most up-to-date and relevant information.

Lastly, remember to continue to do well in your current classes. Even though you're planning to leave, your current grades will still be a part of the transcript Pasadena City College will look at when deciding whether to admit you.
