Transfer Workshops

Transfer Workshops and Application Support

Workshops are a great way to focus on a particular topic or aspect to university transfer in community. In partnership with university representatives, Chabot College faculty, and Chabot College counselors, workshops cover an array of topics related to transfer basics, transfer admission applications and personal statements, as well as information sessions for transfer exploration and opportunities.

Exploration Workshops

Exploration Workshops give you opportunity to learn with the intent of refining your list of potential transfer schools and identifying your intended university major/program. This informs the conversations you have with your Chabot counselor for revisions to your Student Education Plan (SEP) and define your transfer timeline!

A few exploration workshops include:

• UC TAG and UC TAP Line by Line
  • hosted by UC Berkeley and primarily for those trying to get the Fall 2024 TAG but Transfer Explorers can get a head start on your future TAG here
• UC Berkeley Transfer Presentations
• UC Davis Transfer Webinar Series
• UC Irvine Virtual Transfer Presentations
• UC Santa Barbara Virtual Presentations

Application Workshops

Application Workshops. Applying to transfer to a university is often more than just completing a form. The application cycle can take as short as two weeks to as long as one year. It is a process that may require the reporting of your academic history, admissions essay, portfolio or supplemental application to specific programs and departments. In addition, you are likely finding yourself applying for financial aid, scholarships, on-campus housing, etc.. 

We are here to support you!
