Don’t miss transfer fair

Students should attend the transfer fair Oct. 29 to figure out the options they have once they leave this college.

The transfer fair will host 38 colleges from across town and the state and a few from out of state 9 a.m.-noon in the Fiesta Room of Loftin Student Center.

Transfer fairs help students decide which university they want to attend to complete a bachelor’s degree.

University representatives can answer questions regarding admission steps, tuition rates, financial aid, transfer credits and degree plans. They also should be able to respond to the question, “Why should I pick your university?”

The fair is an excellent opportunity for undecided students to weigh the pros and cons of each university and possibly decide on a university to attend.

For students who already know where they want to go, this is an opportunity to double-check information and make sure they are taking the proper steps.

What are deadlines for admissions, housing reservations and financial aid applications?
