Important information for transfer students

This website above gives you a guide to your student financial aid and loans. Those of you who are looking to transfer also need to be inform on how loans and your financial aid works. This website is a great guide for that and will give you the knowledge you need for once you leave community college.
Students on this website are giving the opportunity to look more closely into what each Univeristy in California offers and how much it cost. This is also important information for future transfer students. It is important to know how much the college you plan to attent to cost.
This last website allows the student to learn how to manage their money once they start college. Learning how to mamage your money is an important tool/skill to have specially for college studens. College is not an easy and at times can be expansive, this is why it is important for college students to learn to manage their money as best as possible.
The Student Support Services TRiO Program is committed to providing students with services, resources, and information that will enhance their sense of belonging and empowerment. Through personalized counseling/advising, referrals to campus resources, and student workshops and services, we strive to increase student retention, persistence, and success. Ultimately, we aspire to assist students become civically-engaged, socially-conscious, and productive members of the campus community; and prepare them for the incredible opportunites that await them in the job-market, undergraduate study, and life in general.
Student Support Services TRiO Program is uniquely designed to support college students who are low-income, first-generation, and/or students with disabilities, although all students are welcome to apply.
Who Are We?

Our primary objective is to create a space that serves as a "home away from home" for our students that fosters learning, trust, and relationship-building. The Program believes in the education of the whole person, and supports the psychological, emotional, and physiological well-being of our students. Students in our Program benefit from individualized counseling/advising, academic support, peer networks, leadership experiences, and exposure to a variety of career/professional, academic, and self-development opportunities.
