Transfer Workshop
2
HOW TO TRANSFER FROM R-CCC Make a transfer plan A successful transfer involves careful planning and takes time to develop. Any student wishing to transfer college credits to other institutions should begin appropriate planning during the first semester at Roanoke-Chowan Community College.
3
Research colleges When choosing the right college to attend, consider factors that influence your choice such as: transfer of credits degree programs and majors offered location tuition costs financial aid application deadlines campus culture student population extracurricular activities housing options campus jobs
4
Narrow down your search Arrange for campus visits to your top choices. Take a campus tour, meet with representatives from admissions and financial aid, schedule an appointment with an academic adviser in your major and learn about student life. Many schools offer orientation specifically for transfer students. Orientation includes an opportunity to visit with advisors, enroll in classes and learn about campus life.
5
Apply for Admissions Begin the admission process as early as a year in advance of transfer by submitting an application along with the application fee to your transfer school. Several schools have online admissions applications. Be aware of admission application deadlines as they may vary by institution. Some majors or professional schools may require an additional application process. Become familiar with those processes and deadlines.
6
Apply for Admissions Request official R-CCC transcripts to be sent to the transfer school(s) at the time of application. During your final semester at R-CCC, request an additional transcript be sent after grades are posted. Contact all colleges you have attended to request transcripts be sent directly to the transfer school.
7
Seek financial aid and scholarships Begin the application process for financial aid and scholarships early. Electronically submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by the appropriate deadline. Be aware the financial aid process takes considerable time from filing the FAFSA to receiving your award letter. Start the process early. Research scholarship opportunities and the application process. Some scholarships may be automatically awarded based on information from the application for admission. Others require a separate application and need documentation of service or activities and letters of recommendation.
8
Read your mail Correspondence sent to you from your transfer school will include important information in making a successful transition.

Transfer of Courses on a Course-by- Course Basis Upon admission to another public two-year institution or to a public university, a community college student who was enrolled in a community college course and who satisfactorily completed the course with a grade of “C-“ or better in the courses that are designated for college transfer will receive credit for those courses.
