Many of you will no doubt wish to transfer after
you receive your two-year certificates. The following sites
should aid you in examining your possibilities both in terms of
acceptance and finances. Of course, do not neglect to consult
our very fine Transfer Office on campus. The sites below vary
in type and content: information about the campuses; help with
admission essays; and some even have applications which you can
download. Perhaps surfing the sites periodically will keep you in
the four-year college “mode” during your long years of part-time
schooling at NCC!
Remember to take yourself and your college
experience seriously. You are not just “bowling two nights
per week; you are in college, and it is never too
early to start thinking about the next step. Whether you are 18
or 80; whether you will stay close to home or go as far away as
possible, there is a college just right for you.
Good luck, and always understand that you can
