In this episode, Lisa and Jaime discuss:

  • How to prevent unplanned future transfers for your teen.
  • What a “planned transfer” is, when it might make sense, and when it won’t work.
  • Common reasons why over ⅓ of undergraduate students transfer.
  • Articulation agreements between colleges that can benefit transfers.

Key Takeaways:

  • More than ⅓ of undergraduate students transfer at some point. It should not be a hush-hush topic. Transferring is not shameful.
  • Planning to start at a community college should not be stigmatized. Amazing community colleges exist, and their successful graduates do amazing things in our communities.
  • If your student’s only reasons for transferring are social, consider other options within their current school first. Transferring will not usually solve the problem, but changing roommates or joining clubs might.
  • When applying to school, your student is not looking for a school they can get into; they are also looking for a school they can graduate from with a degree—that’s the ultimate goal.
  • Reach out to admissions offices and transfer specialists. Your student should ask questions and do their research.

“If you have a student who's not really sure what they want to study, it is much cheaper to explore different options and different kinds of majors at a community college than it is to go all in at a four-year university on a major you're not sure about and then have to pivot later.” – Jaime Smith
