Transferring to Queens College with an Associate's Degree

I've just finished my associate's degree and I'm looking to transfer to Queens College. Does anyone know how smooth the transition usually is, and what steps I should take to make the move?

Congrats on finishing your associate's degree! Transferring to a four-year college like Queens College is a common path and many students find it to be a smooth transition.

To make your transition easier, there are a few steps to take. First, make sure to submit a transfer application through the college's admission portal, including all required documents such as transcripts from your previous institution. If you haven't done so already, it's important to check out Queens College's application deadlines to ensure your application materials are submitted on time.

Second, you'll want to understand how your earned credits will transfer. Generally, Queens College will conduct a credit evaluation after receiving your transcripts. Factors that could affect the evaluation include the courses you've taken and your grades in those courses. You may want to reach out to the registrar or the admissions office to get more specific information about your situation.

Third, consider scheduling a meeting or a phone call with a transfer advisor to discuss your academic plan and to gain insight into the resources available to you as a incoming transfer student. They can offer advice on what classes to take and help you plan your academic pathway at Queens College.

Lastly, get to know the campus and its resources before you start classes. This could be as simple as taking a virtual tour or physically visiting the college if you are in the area.

Remember, every student's transfer process is different, so it might not go exactly as I've outlined. However, having a plan and knowing what to expect can significantly ease the transition. Good luck with your transfer to Queens College!
