Earlier this month Quinsigamond Community College’s Transfer Services hosted its 2018 Spring Transfer Fair, something the college has been doing for over a decade. Approximately 150 students had the opportunity to meet and talk with 30 colleges and universities to learn about their transfer options. The college has been introducing different transfer events such as this one each semester to give students a chance to learn about the myriad of transfer options available to them.
These events are designed to help students understand everything they need to know about transferring before they are in their final semester at QCC, alleviating unnecessary last minute headaches and confusion. QCC's Transfer Services staff help students learn about transfer pathways and will put together a transfer plan that works for each individual student.
As a member of the Massachusetts Public Higher Education System, QCC maintains strong ties with all of Massachusetts' public four-year colleges and universities, and offers the MassTransfer program, as well as numerous articulation agreements with private four-year colleges and universities, locally and regionally.
In addition to drop-in transfer sessions there are semester visits by representatives from area colleges and universities; transfer advising and transfer information resources that are available at the Transfer office, and a new spring initiative – Transfer Services Workshops. These workshops feature topics that include the application process, college search, preparing to transfer and transfer agreements.
The workshops are one hour and are held in room 62A.
“We really encourage students to contact us ‘early and often,’” said QCC Transfer Coordinator Daniel de la Torre.
“Even if a student is in his/her first semester here, it’s never too early to start thinking about transferring to a bachelor degree,” added QCC Transfer Counselor Beth Fullerton.
QCC’s next Tranfer Fair will be its Fall Fair, held on Wednesday, October 31 in room 109 A&B in the Harrington Learning Center.
