The Ultimate Guide to College Transfer is a comprehensive guide, designed to make college transfer between four-year schools as successful as possible. Chapters outline the steps to take from the moment a student finds him/herself considering college transfer to the first semester at his/her next college.
The book contains vignettes (based on real student stories) and excerpts from interviews with transfer students, parents, and higher education professionals. The information and advice they share will be helpful, informative, and reassuring to families going through a college transfer and enlightening to high school and college personnel.
College transfer, when done for the right reasons and in the right way, can be an extremely positive experience for students. This is especially true when the student goes from merely surviving in their old environment to thriving in their new one.

After the excitement of college application season, it won’t be long before students will be coming to us and asking about transferring. This book will come in extremely handy. I used it this summer with a student who hoped to transfer from his community college to a major university. The authors discuss reasons for transfers, including roommate issues, and finances and include a pros and cons checklist with a clever financial tic tac toe review. There is also a section for community college and gap year advice along with quotes from our IECA colleagues.
