Publish Date: Oct. 12, 2021

Community colleges across the Inland Empire worked together to coordinate a free virtual transfer fair for all community college students in Riverside and San Bernardino counties.

The event took place on Tuesday, September 21, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

with over 65 university representatives from institutions representing a variety of University of California (UC) and California State University (CSU) locations, in-state private schools and out-of-state schools. Sessions began every half-hour throughout the event and participants were able to chose the sessions to attend.

Crafton’s Transfer Center Coordinator, Mariana Macamay, who organized the event explained the benefits to students who begin their educational journeys at the community college: “Crafton offers students a great education in a beautiful setting with dedicated faculty and staff who want to see their students succeed and move forward with their educational goals.”

By attending Crafton first and then transferring to a university, students can save money and will have priority for admission to the University of California and California State University public systems upon transfer.“With an Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT), students now can benefit from guaranteed admission to UC’s, CSU’s, along with many independent, private, and out-of-state universities, including Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCU’s).”

The University Transfer Center at Crafton Hills College offers a variety of services and activities to help students transition smoothly from the community college to a four-year institution. “With over 100 workshops, assistance with completing applications, university application fee waivers, events such as the virtual transfer fair, in-person and virtual advising, it is no wonder that Crafton students have one of the highest admission rates in the Inland Empire to the University of California system. Come to Crafton, go anywhere!” Macamay proclaimed.
