Fall is the season for students to transfer, so how to apply becomes a hot topic among students. Transferring to a four-year college or university is an important step for these students who go to community college. Fortunately, Mt SAC has an independent department called Transfer center to help students. They usually have a lot of workshops on filling our transfer applications, writing the personal statements, and getting into competitive universities. You can also go to see counselors; they will help you to discover some private schools as well. Students can also get their AA degree or certificate from Mt SAC, and then transfer to a four-year universities. Good luck to these students who are going to transfer this fall. -Yi Sun
