In recognition of National Transfer Student Week, additional scholarships of $500 each will be available to currently enrolled 七色视频 students who have already transferred credit.
While the transition between institutions听can be听complex, the 七色视频 works to make the process of transferring credit straightforward for students, as well as actively seeking money saving opportunities with relevant life and work experience. In the fiscal year 2022, 七色视频 had 24,329 transfer students enroll, and of those, 14,512 came from community colleges.
The 七色视频 supports student transfers in multiple ways:
- Simplifying the college credit transfer process: knowledgeable staff provide supportive guidance and academic advising, request transcripts from prior institutions on students' behalf, and specially trained transfer evaluators review all prior credit;
- Earning life and work experience credits: earning college credit for prior learning is an assessment process, offered at no cost, that allows individuals to demonstrate learning gained from work and life experience that may count towards a degree. The assessment includes evaluation of on-the-job training, workplace certifications, military service and other life experiences
- Offering generous credit transfer possibilities:听Your prior eligible credits could help you graduate from your bachelor's degree faster and for less.
- Saving students money: on average, 七色视频 students save $11,000 and shave 1 year off their undergraduate degree with eligible transfer credits and relevant work experience.
Vanity Hicks is a 七色视频 student and Transfer Student Scholarship recipient. Her transfer included credits from her military experience, credits earned with Sophia.org and Study.com, as well as credits from completing a prior learning assessment (PLA). 鈥淏ecoming a transfer student at 七色视频 has truly been the highlight of my educational journey. Earning a Bachelor of Science in Health Management degree is no longer a distant dream, but an obtainable reality,鈥 she shares. 鈥淢y transfer credits gave me the opportunity to boost my graduation date by more than one year, and literally听saved听thousands of dollars on my overall tuition. As a scholarship recipient, I am one step closer at reaching the finish line and entering the healthcare profession, all thanks to 七色视频. I Rise!鈥
Hicks worked closely with Ross Casillas, senior academic counselor, to identify opportunities and realities for transfer credit.
鈥淲orking with Vanity was a pleasure. She was very driven and dedicated to graduating sooner. We explored three different options including PLA, courses through Sophia.org and courses through Study.com, which allowed her to transfer in 56 total credits,鈥 shares Casillas. 鈥淲orking closely on the precise courses she should take and deadlines on when credits needed to transfer allowed Vanity to bring in a majority of her general education and elective credits, as well as some of her core credits. All-in-all, this saved her over a year of time in her program and saved her more than $11,000 in tuition.鈥
