Transfer 101’s focus on the first two stages of transferring: Planning and Exploring. Students will receive an overview of statewide transfer programs and incentives, attaining academic potential, how to transfer credits, searching for colleges, and other resources to clarify the transfer process. We customize workshops for Pathways, Competitive Colleges, and Preparing for Transfer Week.

Recommended for students with 0-30 credits and who are learning about transferring for the first time and who are. It’s never too early to begin thinking about transfer!

Transfer 102 will focus on the final two stages of transferring: Applying and Deciding. Recommended for students who have attended Transfer 101 Workshop. Topics that will be covered include: applying to four-year colleges and making informed decisions on which colleges to attend, requesting letters of recommendations, writing your transfer essays, and using the Common Application.

Recommended for students with 31-60 credits.

This workshop is designed for students who want to apply for scholarships or understand how to fund your degree. It is recommended for students who are planning or have already applied to a four-year institution, but is not required.

The essay is a critical part of the four-year college application for competitive colleges. It is an opportunity for you to personalize your application beyond the grades and other information you have provided. Join BHCC faculty and staff to discuss ways to craft your best college essay

Are you preparing to graduate and working on your transfer applications? This session is designed to give you the time and space to focus. Feel free to come and go as you like—there’s no formal start time, so drop in whenever it works for you. We offer sessions tailored to your transfer goals, including:

• General Application Sessions (virtual and in-person)
• MassTransfer-Focused Sessions
• Partner College Sessions

You'll have access to a quiet workspace where you can work independently on your four-year college applications - whether you're starting your Common App, drafting your transfer essay, or gathering materials. A transfer advisor will be available to help with questions, offer guidance on where to begin, and point you toward helpful resources.

While this isn't a formal workshop with step-by-step instruction, it's a great opportunity to get support with those tricky or unclear parts of the process. Use the time in whatever way works best for you.

Desktop computers will be available for in-person sessions, or feel free to bring your laptop, drafts, and questions. We're here to help you move forward!
