Transfer Information
Looking to transfer from CLC?
Transfer Planning
Please be aware that transfer planning is a detailed process! Therefore, students who are planning to transfer from CLC to a 4-year institution are encouraged to meet with a counselor early and often in their academic program.
CLC Counselors are available to assist you in determining the required courses and in planning your semester by semester coursework in order to fulfill the requirements. The best times for scheduling transfer planning appointments with a counselor are during the following months:
September-October
February-March
May-June
Meet with a Counselor
By meeting with a counselor prior to the registration period, you will ensure an adequate amount of one-on-one meeting time so that all transfer related issues can be fully discussed. Call or stop by the Counseling Center to schedule an appointment.
