Transfer Admissions

Switching Gears: The College Transfer Process

Sometimes, you want to take your creative talents elsewhere — and at Portfolio College Counseling, we can help.

Whether you’re hoping to transfer from a community college to a four-year university or from one college to another, we can guide you. We can even help you transfer into an art and design program at your school if your current major no longer suits you.

With us, you’ll find programs that align with your interests, develop competitive applications and portfolios, and get the support you need to transition smoothly in your academic and creative journey.

Identify the Right Program For You

We have years of experience guiding students through the unique process of transferring schools or switching majors to study art and design.

Our process starts by getting to know you as a student and learning about your unique needs, skills, and interests. We’ll also review your current program, looking specifically at what you love and the aspects that leave you dissatisfied.

Afterward, we’ll discuss whether your current school offers a more suitable major or concentration or whether transferring to an entirely new school would be best.

Understand How To Transfer Schools

If you decide that switching schools will meet your unique goals, you may ask yourself two questions:

• How do I transfer colleges?
• How will the credits I’ve already earned transfer?

When working with us, we’ll answer these questions so you feel comfortable and prepared to navigate the transfer process. During our initial meetings, we’ll explain every step of the journey and help you understand which credits may carry over and why (as this varies from school to school).

Develop An Informative Timeline

To successfully guide you through the transfer process, we’ll prepare a step-by-step plan and timeline with key dates and application requirements for each college or program you’re considering. We’ll also help you stay on track to meet deadlines and fulfill application requirements.

Revising & Submitting Your Portfolio

Chances are, you’ve changed significantly as a student and artist since you started college. That’s why we’ll help you analyze and update your artwork so that every creative piece accurately represents you and exceeds college transfer requirements.
