Counseling Department

We recommend students begin with our General Transfer Workshops — to learn both about the process and the resources they have available to help them make sound decisions regarding their academic goals. You can even bring a friend or relative. Next you schedule an appointment with a counselor to develop a Student Educational Plan (SEP) that identifies the General Education and Major requirements necessary for you as a student to transfer to the college or university of your choice. We provide: 

  • Transfer Assistance to CSU, UC, private and out-of-state universities 
  • Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) Information 
  • University application and personal statement assistance 
  • Computer workstations for Transfer Related Efforts 
  • University catalogs and college search resources

Student Success Stories

female studentMartiel, Science Student

"I really wanted to enroll in the political science program at UCLA. I applied directly, with no luck. After attending RCC I was able to move straight to the second year of my UCLA, and got a scholarship!”

Barthole, Engineering Student

“I had the grades to get into my first choice university, but not the funds. The transfer program lets me complete a majority of my study at a reduced cost — and I can save for my last two years at another campus.”
