FTCC to hold in-person College Transfer Day Oct. 27 by LOUTRICIA J. NELSON Fayetteville Technical Community College will host College Transfer Day on Oct. 27 from 10 a.m to 2 p.m. at the Tony Rand Student Center Multi- Purpose Room. is year, FTCC anticipates representation from 46 public and private universities. College Transfer Day serves as an avenue to promote the transferability of academic credits earned by community college students to public and private four-year colleges and universities. Students can connect and have questions answered by university representatives on topics such as admissions requirements, programs of study, scholarship and internship opportunities and financial aid processes. e ability for stu- dents to connect with a multitude of educational representatives at the same time is a unique and helpful resource. e process of transferring to another college is not identical to applying to college for the first time. While a student's high school transcript and SAT/ACT scores may be reviewed, these items typically take a back seat to the academic college transcript that a student has earned at the com- munity college level. Community college students wishing to transfer to 4-year colleges should strive to achieve excellent grades in order to be competitive during the transfer process, as cur- rent academic college transcripts will be reviewed more rigorously than high school transcripts. College Transfer Day is a great way for students to learn about each school's unique policies and deadlines and to make contacts, receive literature and ask questions. Transfer students should be mindful of impor- tant university deadlines. Universities not only have deadlines that may vary from one school to another but also have specific policies for trans- fer students who are applying to professional programs. e pandemic presented students and universi- ties with many challenges, but the opportunity to visit the campuses of universities before decid- ing if a college is the right fit academically and emotionally is important. Students interested in transfer tours may reach out to FTCC's office of University Outreach for assistance. e Office of University Outreach also offers many opportuni- ties and programs that allow transfer students to receive a better understanding of the academic landscape involved with the transfer process, and FTCC's College Transfer Day is one of those opportunities. Transfer ursdays are offered weekly at FTCC, allowing students to make an ap- pointment to receive an evaluation of two univer- sities of the student's choice. After evaluation of the current course work, the student is given ad- ditional advisement and, if desired, is registered. At FTCC, we understand that better skills lead to better jobs with better pay. Helping students achieve their educational goals to prepare for a successful career is our top priority. Finding your way forward is easy, with FTCC. College Transfer Day is a free event open to anyone wanting information about college trans- fer options. Questions may be directed to nel- sonl@faytechcc.edu or by calling 910-678-8205. EDUCATION LOUTRICIA J. NELSON, FTCC University Outreach Coordinator.
