Montgomery College > Steps to Transfer

1

Meet with a counselor each semester prior to registering for classes. 

This is the first and most important point to understand about planning for transfer. 

  • Seek assistance from an MC advisor EACH semester when choosing courses.  Each campus has counselors who can assist with transfer advising.  Identify yourself from the start as a student who is interested in transferring to a four-year school. 
  • Make an appointment to choose classes midway through each semester for maximum assistance.  Advisers have less time to talk to you during peak registration times (July/August and late December/January are considered peak times).  You can, and should, discuss class choices even before class schedules come out! 
  • Ideal times for transfer advising discussions:  Fall - October through November, Spring - February through April.
