Questions for Transfer Schools

Research potential transfer schools

If you’re thinking about transferring after JCC, contact your transfer schools to ask questions and plan a campus visit so you can get to know the potential provider of your advanced degree.

Before your visit

  • Meet with a JCC counselor and gather information about the school and your program of study ahead of time, so you can ask informed questions.
  • Call a few weeks before your visit to ask if the school can provide an unofficial evaluation of your transcript that you can discuss during your visit. (然而, don’t be surprised if schools won’t do so until you have applied or are accepted to their institution).
  • Schedule appointments with both an admissions counselor and an advisor in the academic department of your interest.
  • Take a copy of your JCC成绩单 when you visit schools.

During your visit

  • Keep track of the name of the college/university as well as names, 标题, and contact information of people you meet.

After your visit

  • If you would like to review your visit with a JCC counselor, make an appointment by calling 716.338.1065. We look forward to helping you with your transfer process.​
