Transfer Application – Online Question Sessions​

Virtual Zoom labs staffed by the Transfer Center. Students should create their application account and attempt to begin their application before coming to our lab. During the lab, we can answer general application questions in a group format to benefit other students in the Zoom room with similar questions. Students may also opt to enter private individual Zoom breakout rooms to share their application screen with transfer staff and ensure information privacy.
