If attending community college, what should you do to ensure your classes transfer?

Take as many courses as possible
Only follow the school's recommendations
Work closely with your advisor
Focus solely on your major

The correct answer is: Work closely with your advisor

Working closely with your advisor is the most effective strategy to ensure that the classes you take at community college will transfer to a four-year institution. Advisors have a wealth of knowledge about course requirements, transfer agreements, and articulation policies that govern which courses will be accepted at other colleges and universities. By engaging in regular discussions with your advisor, you can develop a clear academic plan tailored to your educational goals, making sure you’re choosing the right courses that align with your intended transfer institution. In contrast, attempting to take as many courses as possible may lead to a situation where you accumulate credits that are not applicable or do not meet the requirements at your prospective four-year school. Following only the school’s recommendations might not address the specific requirements of the institution you plan to transfer to, as those can vary significantly. Focusing solely on your major can limit your educational breadth and might overlook essential general education requirements needed for transfer. Therefore, close collaboration with an advisor will help you navigate these challenges effectively.
