The New Reality for Transfer Students

The CSU & UC priority application period is over, and now the wait to hear whether students have been conditionally admitted has begun. The "conditional" part is dependent on students fulfilling all admission requirements (transferable units, minimum GPA, required courses in general education and possibly preparation for the major) by the end of spring 2011.



Tuition costs for fall 2011 will increase at all levels of higher education in California. At the same time, more competition for fewer enrollment slots may result in many students unable to achieve their transfer goal. That is, unless they are willing to consider other options besides California public universities.



In these challenging times, when state budget cuts have limited access to community college classes and university admission, it is essential to identify your transfer needs and research all the options available to you. Once you've done that, it will be much easier to find a solution.

Attend a "Transfer Options" workshop in the University Transfer Center and we will help you get started.
