7 Steps to transfer
- Getting Started: Meet with a counselor to make an initial educational plan and discuss your transfer
options. Connect with student support services and/or learning communities (i.e.
EOPS, SSS TRIO, MESA/STEM, PUENTE, UMOJA, etc.).
- Undecided: If you are undecided on your major and/or career, then consider taking a counseling
class.
- Explore: Visit (in-person or virtually) colleges and universities. Meet with college and
university representatives (transfer advisors from a specific 4-year institution that
are assigned to meet with NVC students). Representatives can share more detailed information
regarding their school including scholarships, housing, major requirements, financial
aid and much more.
- Research: Research majors, campus locations, campus size, services and costs. Utilize college
search websites and school websites to aid in your search.
- Plan Your Path: Utilize the Career and Transfer Center to connect your major, future school and career.
- Counseling: Meet with a counselor at least once a semester to ensure you are on track to track
to transfer.
- Finish Strong: Apply to transfer 6 months to a year in advance. Check your email and school portals for vital information. Fulfill transfer requirements and submit requested documents to ensure acceptance and have a smooth transition from NVC to your chosen 4-year institution.

Agreements
Transfer Agreements are agreements between four-year universities and colleges and Napa Valley Community College that guarantee admission to prospective students as long as those students meet a certain set of criteria. These requirements and agreements differ across universities, colleges, and systems.
Currently we have a number of agreements in place with select University of California (UC) campuses, the California State University (CSU) system, select Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and other out-of-state state or in-state, private institutions.
Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) Information
California Community Colleges offer Associate Degrees for Transfer (ADT) to the California State University (CSU) campuses. These degrees are specifically called the Associate in Arts (AA-T) or Associate in Science (AS-T) degrees. These degrees are designed to provide a clear pathway to a CSU major and baccalaureate degree. California Community College students who are awarded an AA-T or AS-T degree are guaranteed admission with junior standing somewhere in the CSU system and given priority admission consideration to their local CSU campus or to a program that is deemed similar to their community college major. This priority does not guarantee admission to specific majors or campuses.
Students who have been awarded an AA-T or AS-T are able to complete their remaining requirements for the 120-unit baccalaureate degree within 60 semester or 90 quarter units.
Current and prospective community college students are strongly encouraged to meet with an NVC Counselor to review their options for transfer and to develop a comprehensive educational plan that best meets their goals and needs.
Students interested in the transfer agreement please check out the I can go to college website , where a list of the partner schools can be downloaded with website links.

Transfer Success Pathway (Dual Admission to CSU)
Are you enrolling in one of California’s 116 community colleges this fall? You could be eligible for a dual admission program that gives you the chance to pursue your bachelor’s degree at one of our 23 universities.
The new Transfer Success Pathway program is designed to increase access to the CSU. If you faced academic, financial or personal hardships that prevented you from attending the CSU, this program could help you get to the CSU to earn your degree.

National started the ADT scholarship in 2018 to help support community college students.
Students who complete an ADT degree, whether it be an AA-T or AS-T and follow the IGETC or CSU Breadth pathway, and transfer to National within 12 months of completing their degree are eligible for this scholarship.
This scholarship drops down the cost from $1,665 per course to $880 per course for a maximum of 20 courses! Most students who complete their ADT degree will take anywhere from 17-20 courses to complete their bachelor's degree which is why it is capped at 20 courses.
Along with the ADT, scholarship students are also eligible for the FastTrack Scholarship. The FastTrack Scholarship is every 4th class is free as long as you complete 3 classes successfully. When combined with the ADT scholarship it comes out to an almost 50% savings which do not include any grants such as PELL or CAL that students might be eligible for.
Their goal is to help students coming from a community college to help make education affordable (many students look at National and think private, which means expensive). Students who might be denied admission to a CSU or UC or students who are managing other commitments such as full-time employment, families, etc can still obtain a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited University.

15 Colleges With Affordable Out-of-State Tuition
Find a cheap out-of-state college.
The cost of tuition and fees is one of the biggest barriers for many prospective college
students. Some public schools offer affordable tuition to in-state students and keep
costs low for those from out of state, as well. Students looking for a low-cost education
outside their home state should take a look at the following 15 colleges. This list
includes four historically Black colleges and universities – Mississippi Valley, Elizabeth
City, Alcorn and Jackson state universities – and all but one on the list are located
in the South or Midwest. The list excludes U.S. service academies, which provide free
tuition in exchange for a military obligation following graduation, and colleges in
Puerto Rico, which tend to charge a lower amount than schools on the U.S. mainland.
