An important issue for students continuing their education beyond CCC is the transfer of credit from one school to another. Dual advisement is recommended for students who intend to transfer. Dual advisement includes having an advisor at CCC one semester before graduating, applying to the transfer school, and obtaining an advisor there. This will ensure graduation, appropriate course selection for both schools, orderly transfer of credits, and provide a contact person at the transfer school.

As a transfer student at CCC, the student is responsible for making the necessary contacts. Students are encouraged to meet with their program advisor and with their advisor in the Advising Center. Students seeking training for the purpose of getting a job or for career advancement need to work closely with their program advisor.
