Students interested in transferring to a four-year university—and their parents—are invited to attend Allan Hancock College’s University Transfer Day on Nov. 3, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Santa Maria campus student center (building G).
Attendees will get a chance to talk to representatives from approximately 40 colleges and universities in California and other states. School representatives will be able to answer questions about academic programs, costs, housing, and more, as well as provide brochures and other materials on their respective institutions.
According to a press release from Allan Hancock College, the event is open to all members of the public—not just Hancock students.
“Anyone who is considering attendance at a four-year college or university is strongly encouraged to take advantage of this great opportunity,” Julie Vasques, Allan Hancock College’s interim University Transfer Center coordinator/counselor, said in the release. “This free event is vitally important in that it allow students and members of the community to meet with college reps, ask questions, explore possibilities, and gather information that might otherwise require a visit to each university. It saves a lot of time and hassle when the university comes to you.”
For more information about University Transfer Day, or transferring in general, call the college’s University Transfer Center at 922-6966, Ext. 3363, or visit hancockcollege.edu.
