Transfers made simple with new partnership.

Drexel has made it much easier for students to transfer to their institution.
With the up and running website Collegetransfer.net run by Academy One students are able to get a jump start on their transferring research. Through the website students can view what courses are transferable to different schools. Recently Drexel has expanded the number of equivalencies between several schools including Bucks’.
College transfer.net allows students to shun any courses that won’t transfer or count for their desired school. It also allows students to develop a transcript and help you find your future college destination as well. This site is something that most students might not realize how helpful it can be but for a student who is just getting their feet wet, and who is researching what types of transferring options they might have or might not have it will help immensely.
This program doesn’t necessarily benefit a certain kind of student but certain schools do offer things that most students would find helpful. Drexel University for example is located in Pennsylvania so it won’t be too hard for students to get back and forth from their homes if they have too. Drexel offers co-op programs for students who want to get experience in their desired work field before graduating. This is a great opportunity for students to get ahead of the game when it comes to getting on the job training before they graduate so they won’t have to train once they graduate.
With collegetransfer.net it gives students a start if they don’t know where to go for information about transferring. If students are trying to find out more information about transferring, Barbara A. Ford, Director, Transfer Services here at Bucks said, “Transfer students should make an appointment with a transfer planning counselor.” Counselors are located in the Student Services Center on the Bucks campus in the Rollins Center on the first floor.
Drexel is a school which on average is very expensive and is really unaffordable for most people. If you are a student thinking about transferring to Drexel, it would be a good option to work for a scholarship.
“The higher the GPA the better chance of a scholarship,” said Ford. Being able to earn a scholarship will save a lot of money for you and make it a lot easier to attend this recognized university.
When looking to research about transferring, collegetransfer.net is not the only place where you can look for help. Here at Bucks you have the choice of making an appointment with a transfer counselor or even go on the Bucks website www.Bucks.edu/transfer which is also set up to help with all your transferring questions.
Once on the site you go to course equivalencies which will show you whatever college you want to find information about transferring to. For instance under Drexel you can look up anything about the school ranging from transfer facts, articulation agreements course equivalents and scholarships as well.
With collegetransfer.net, bucks.edu/transfer, and on campus transfer counselors there is more than enough sources here at Bucks to lead you in the right direction when deciding your transferring options.
