Hundreds of Students Visit CHC’s Transfer Fair

Publish Date: Oct. 26, 2022

On September 14, the Crafton Hills College (CHC) University Transfer Center (UTC) hosted an in-person transfer fair with 25 college representatives from California State University, University of California, private, out-of-state, and even global universities.

Hundreds of students attended to receive information first-hand from representatives about their respective institutions. The CHC student body came out in full force and asked questions about the admission process, what factors could help their application get accepted, attendance costs, majors available, housing, financial aid/ scholarship opportunities, paid internships, major-to-career opportunities, and campus life.

Hispanic Heritage Month Celebrations at CHC Hundreds of Students Visit CHC’s Transfer Fair Transfer center coordinator, Mariana Macamay was especially grateful for the professors who walked their students to the fair. “It shows their commitment to connecting their students to resources outside the classroom and to help students move forward in their educational goals.”

Many of the universities gave in-person demonstrations for students and provided helpful information for those looking to transfer. A few eager students even applied for provisional admission to the institutions of their choice on the spot to help their chances of future acceptance.

The UTC simultaneously held additional workshops at the Transfer Center during the fair. These two workshops covered two specific transfer options: the University of Redlands’ Promise program, which provides free tuition for Cal Grant eligible students, and how to transfer to UC Santa Barbara under its Transfer Admission Guarantee. The UTC is dedicated to increasing student awareness of transfer opportunities and encouraging students to reach their full potential while at Crafton to ensure they are prepared for whatever transfer path they take
