Over 30 California State University, University of California, private, and out-of-state universities were on campus Tuesday, Oct. 11, to participate in the Golden West College Transfer Day Fair. Representatives from the various universities were on-hand to help guide students wishing to transfer to a four-year university in the fall of 2012, through the rigorous transfer process.
Golden West College students visited various booths in which university representatives were able to provide prospective students with information on admissions procedures, financial aid, housing, and many other subjects.
The counselors “are really able to help the students with the transfer process,” Transfer Center Coordinator Thao Tran said, who represented the Golden West College Transfer Center at the event.
Maheba Merhi, a community outreach specialist at National University, said that “students hoping to transfer to a four-year university and get a bachelor’s degree as quickly as possible,” can gain a lot from taking advantage of the information given at the transfer fair. “Students learn how to maximize their credits and learn about articulation agreements that Golden West College has with other universities,” Merhi said.
Students can contact the transfer center for more information and assistance on the transfer process, located in the east wing of the administration building.
