Transfer Information

Transferring to a four-year institution to complete your bachelor’s degree should be a pleasant experience. However, smooth transitions require planning. We invite you to visit the student development center to learn more about the process.

Southside Virginia Community College and the VCCS have special agreements with several four-year colleges and universities.  Learn more here http://www.vccs.edu/Students/TransferList/tabid/106/Default.aspx

Transfer Events

SVCC students can take advantage of the many transfer events offered throughout the academic year, including college day, transfer workshops, college tours, transfer club membership, and visits by representatives of individual senior institutions.

Steps to a Successful Transfer:

1. Make sure you are in the system as a transfer student. This will alert the college that you intend to continue your education after leaving SVCC.
2. It is important to select your transfer school
3. Following the advice of your advisor, Student Development and your transfer institution will help make transferring smoother.
4. Be familiar with the general education requirements at the four-year schools.
5. Contact the financial aid office at the transfer institution the semester before you transfer.

Best Wishes for a successful transfer adventure!
