Student Activities and Events
Transferring to a new institution can be exciting, but it can also be scary. Many students experience some anxiety about moving from the community college to a 4-year institution. But prior preparation and planning will help you to be successful. So it's important to start researching your transfer options early, make a decision, and get acquainted with your college/university of choice.
Maricopa's Transfer Awareness Week (February 20-23, 2007) is designed to provide information about transfer and create opportunities for students to meet with Maricopa’s Transfer Partners. Maricopa has established transfer partnerships with quality, reputable institutions. Colleges and universities from around the country are scheduled to be at the following locations, and are available to assist you with understanding their degrees and programs.
