Hours of Operation - Autumn Semester 2024

The University Transfer Center is open to all students at Columbus State to assist them in connecting with colleges and universities offering bachelor's degrees.   

The University Transfer Center offers visits by representatives and advisors from bachelor’s degree institutions to speak with our students about admission, transfer application, scholarship opportunities, and academic planning on walk-in/drop-in basis or by appointment, depending upon the college/university the student is seeking to meet with. Students are encouraged to use these meetings to learn more about their transfer options at convenient times without leaving campus. For more information on visit schedules, students should consult the visit calendars of university advisors and admissions representatives, which are available online at the University Transfer Center website here: https://www.cscc.edu/academics/transfer/meet-university-advisors.shtml 

The University Transfer Center also organizes fairs, programs, and other activities to provide further information on transfer and related student issues. Computers and a small, printed resource library are available to students for their use in completing transfer admissions applications and relevant research. Transfer Student Success Workshops are presented by  staff and university representatives to give students more information on pathway partner institutions and the transfer experience. Recordings of selected workshops can be found below.

The University Transfer Center coordinates the articulation agreements and transfer pathways with nearly 40 different colleges and universities; public and private, in state and out. Pathways exist for all Columbus State degrees. Students may search for the pathways related to their majors and/or professional goals at this link: https://www.cscc.edu/academics/transfer/degrees.shtml
