A new program at Gavilan College could take some of the stress and expense out of getting a four-year degree.
Starting this year, the Gavilan College Transfer Institute will guide students through their first two years of community college and on to a traditional four-year school.
“In the past, students were unsure about transferring (to a four year school). This is easy and efficient,” said Jan Bernstein Chargin, director of public information.
In addition to assisting students through the process of transferring to a university, the program will offer students early class registration, help picking a college major and an educational plan that, if followed, will get them through Gavilan in two years.
“This is an exciting package of services … for students who plan to transfer to a four year university,” said Rosa Sharboneau, interim dean of student services. “Transfer Institute will help them to succeed, and to make the best use of their time if they want to complete their lower-division work in two years.”
There is no added cost to be part of the transfer institute program. For an application go to www.gavilan.edu. Applications must be in by May 2.
