Transfer Reminders...

Welcome Back Everyone!

I hope everyone had a relaxing and productive break (in terms of transfer).  There has been an increase in transfer traffic, so I thought I would send out a couple of reminders to everyone.

For those of you looking to transfer from NCCC to 4-year universities in the Fall of 2011, this is prime-time for applying for admission, scholarships, and completing your FAFSA.  Here are some GENERAL GUIDELINES to follow:

ASAP – Apply for admission (online will get processed quicker)

February 1^st – University general scholarship deadline (may differ between colleges)

FAFSA Priority Deadlines for Area Universities (have this completed by these dates for best Financial Aid packages)

ESU – February 15^th

WU – February 15^th

KU – March 1^st

KSU – March 1^st

PSU – March 1st

WSU – March 1^st

FHSU – March 15^th

Also, be on the lookout for Transfer Early Enrollment Days in late spring.  Many colleges will host these events, and are great opportunities to finalize the admissions process (tour, housing, enrollment), and gives students the best shot of getting in courses before they fill up.

Also be sure to utilize your Admissions Representative at respective universities, they are paid to answer your questions about their college!  Here are some contacts:
