Steps to Transfer from Southwestern College
1. Consider which majors/careers would be a good fit for you.
Unsure where you want to go or what exactly you want to do? You’re not alone. Visit our Career Center to explore career paths and more before meeting with a career counselor.
2. Research colleges for admission and education requirements using the Transfer Center resources.
Required courses vary from school to school, and school system to school system. Research which schools could be best for you based on general career interests.
3. Attend additional information workshops offered at the Transfer Center, Campus Tours and Transfer Fairs.
Understanding the details of transferring can be confusing at times, so please attend workshops and transfer fairs or schedule an appointment with a counselor. Please reference our workshop schedule below.
4. Schedule a counseling appointment to help you with the decision-making process.
Creating a Student Education Plan (SEP) matches your career and transfer goals with an academic learning plan. Our counselors work with you to find a custom path that will lead you where you want to go.
