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.
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!
