Transfer Admissions FAQ

Can I transfer to another college on my own?

While it’s possible to navigate the transfer process on your own, working with an experienced college counselor can greatly increase your chances of a successful transfer. Zinkerz counselors will work closely with you to understand your reasons for transferring and help you find schools that align with your academic and social preferences. They can also help ensure that your credits transfer smoothly to your new school so that you can graduate on time.

The decision to transfer is personal. A transfer counselor can help you assess whether your current school aligns with your goals and if transferring to a different college will offer the opportunities you need. Common reasons for transferring include seeking a better academic fit, a different campus culture, or a more supportive community.

Choosing the right school involves assessing your needs—whether it’s a more challenging academic environment, a specific major, or a better campus fit. We’ll work with you to create a realistic transfer list based on your preferences and goals. We’ll also evaluate schools where you can succeed academically and socially.

Not all credits will transfer automatically, and each college has different policies. We’ll help you navigate the transfer admissions process, ensuring that you understand which credits will transfer and how they will apply toward your degree at the new school.

Start by booking a consultation with one of our transfer admissions counselors. We’ll guide you through every step, from assessing your current school to creating a plan for transferring to a college that aligns with your goals.
