GRCC has developed Transfer Planning Guides that serve as a roadmap of coursework. The Transfer Planning Guide is a planning tool that allows students to know where they are and where they will be during every step of their education at Green River.
Sample Transfer Planning Guides for:
During the first two years of study, students take a combination of general education classes and introductory classes in their major. During their final two years at university, students take upper-level classes in their major and any remaining general education classes.

Our students talk about their university transfer experience:
Shufei Zhang - China Green River is a small school with small classes, so I got a lot of personalized attention from faculty and advisors. I got valuable advice on how to get into a top 4-year university. |
Nadira Purdayinta - Indonesia The High School Completion Plus Program was really helpful. During the transfer process, universities ask for university transcripts and a diploma. I could send both. It is also easier to apply for internships. Almost all of them require a High School Diploma. It really makes it easier to show them the diploma from GRCC (so I dont have to translate and legalize my transcript). The other benefit is that international students can save a lot of money being enrolled in this program. My goal is to work for the United Nations in the future. |
