From the organization with a decade of expertise in transfer admissions, Kaplan Educational Foundation's Your 2018 Guide to College Transfer is a comprehensive handbook for the entire transfer process, from application to enrollment.
Whether you always knew you'd transfer credits or you just realized there's a better path to your bachelor's degree, this guide is for you. We provide all the information you need to assess your educational options and choose the right school for you, including in-depth school profiles that feature transfer admissions policies, financial aid options, and resources available specifically for transfer students -- all in one place for the first time.
Your 2018 Guide to College Transfer profiles top transfer schools in the U.S., and also highlights the best schools for underrepresented, first-generation, non-traditional age, community college, military-affiliated, DACA, and undocumented students contemplating transfer, as well as students with children.
We'll show you what makes a student successful during the admissions, transfer, and enrollment processes, and how to achieve that success in your own transfer. Whether you're a student, a parent, a guidance counselor, or a college adviser, Kaplan's map can help you navigate the complex landscape of college transfer.
"The Kaplan Educational Foundation's Transfer Guide proves that Kaplan gets it. They truly understand both the challenges facing transfer students and the value these students bring to transfer institutions. I see this guide as a roadmap for transfer students and their families as they navigate the complexities of finding a right-fit transfer institution. I also see this guide as a resource for educators who are looking for new and better ways to meet the unique needs of transfer students."- Dr. Lynn Tincher-Ladner, President and CEO, Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society
"For the first time, high-achieving community college students with financial need have a comprehensive resource to guide them as they plan to transfer to the nation's top four year institutions and complete their bachelor's degrees. Kaplan Education Foundation's Your 2018 Guide to College Transfer will become the go-to source as community college students evaluate the admission, financial aid, and housing policies for transfer students at the most selective universities. Perhaps more importantly, this guide sends the clear message that not only is admission open to top colleges, but that these colleges are actively encouraging high-achieving community college students to transfer to their campuses." - Harold O. Levy, Executive Director, Jack Kent Cooke Foundation
