What is transferring?
Students who start at community college can transfer to a four-year university if they want to receive a bachelor’s degree.
Many community colleges have transfer agreements with four-year universities to make sure that credits transfer and you don’t take more classes that you need to. Check in with your community college advisor to make sure you are on track to transfer!
