Ready, set, transfer! It’s time to start thinking about where you’re going after LBCC.

The Oregon Transfer Day for this year is taking place today in the entrance of Takena Hall from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. with tables set up for each of the colleges that will be represented. There will be representatives from all over Oregon and Washington with lots of available printed and verbal information.

Nancy Morrill, LBCC Admissions, encourages students of any major to ask questions they may have regarding the transferring process, or about the college itself. Morrill says that the Oregon Transfer day is “very good for the student to meet with a representative from the school they may be attending.”

Typically, the most common questions asked concern scholarships, available majors, housing, and other financial matters. However, you can also ask the representatives about other things such as food, what the campus looks like, and campus activities.

Morrill says that besides getting information, students may also broaden their horizons by finding out whether or not the college they had in mind is right for them.

LBCC Counselor Charles Madriaga also highly recommends that students swing by the event. He says, “It’s good [for the student]. They (the representatives) kind of show you what you’re going to get.”

The Oregon Transfer Day is a great way for students to become familiar with the college they will be attending. It is highly recommended that you check out the event and meet the representatives from each of the colleges.

If you should miss the event, Madriaga suggests talking to either a counselor or your adviser to get more information. Morrill also advises you to contact the college directly.
