For transfer students, transitioning between institutions can be overwhelming. However, understanding and utilizing articulation agreements can make the process a bit easier. Articulation agreements are formal agreements between educational institutions that outline specific pathways to transferring credits from one institution to another.

Unlike first-year students who start their college journey together, transfer students often arrive on campus after having already experienced another institution. However, with the right approach and mindset, integrating into a new campus community can be a smooth and rewarding experience. Here are some valuable tips to help transfer students navigate this transition.
