Transfer Services
Transfer & Career Services provides information and programming that assists students in transferring to a four-year college. Outreach programs, university tours, workshops, fairs, weekly newsletters and social media, and the Transfer Academy (a learning community supporting students toward transfer-ready status) develop awareness of the opportunities and resources available to achieve student success and transfer. Transfer & Career Services schedules regular visits by representatives from colleges and universities. Students can drop in for questions or schedule individual advising appointments with these representatives. Transfer & Career Services also coordinates tours of various transfer universities each semester. Transfer & Career Services has extensive information regarding UC, CSU, out-of-state and private institutions, historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), as well as provides workshops on topics such as completing UC, CSU, and private university admissions applications, financial aid resources, and next steps after receiving transfer admission. Additionally, LMC coordinates many programs designed to facilitate the transfer process. Some examples are Transfer Admission Guarantees (TAGs), Cross Enrollment programs, “On-the-Spot” Admissions, and the Transfer Academy. The Transfer Academy provides a dynamic academic experience with strong supports in and outside of the classroom, like academic counseling, academic support, workshops, leadership development, and campus tours. Benefits of the academy include blocked General Education (GE) classes with other Transfer Academy students, academic support, and transfer counseling.
