Jaime Smith: The Complete Guide to College Transfer, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A much-needed guide that makes the complex process of transferring colleges feel manageable, from an author with decades of experience in education and a passionate interest in helping students realize their dreams
The Complete Guide to College Transfer is a practical how-to for current and former college students who are considering transferring to a different college. Even though over a million students embark on the journey of transferring colleges every year, and over 40 million Americans have some college credits but no degree, few resources exist to guide them through the complex process of transferring institutions. Transfer specialist Jaime Smith fills the gap in support with this well-researched companion to help readers:

• find their perfect-fit transfer-affirming college with supportive services
• navigate the transfer and financial aid application processes
• maximize transfer credits, including nontraditional sources like AP, IB, and CLEP coursework, which can add up to a full semester or more
• happily adjust to life after transfer, including working with an adviser, self-advocating effectively, and discovering community

Transfer students and the family members and professionals who support them understand that they deserve the same level of care and guidance that college-bound high school seniors receive. This book demystifies bureaucratic processes and offers a helping hand during a momentous time, instilling in future graduates the confidence that they can accomplish their goals.
