Students explore transfer opportunities

The JSRCC Career, Employment and Transfer Center coordinated “on the spot” admissions this week with Virginia Tech admissions representatives. Students interested in attending Virginia Tech were able to submit their applications and transcripts in advance and meet with University representative for "on the spot" acceptance.

“We offer several opportunities throughout the semester to help students meet transfer requirements and to talk to them about our articulation agreements with four-year schools.” JSRCC Career Counselor Robin Beale said.

The College’s associate degree programs are designed for students who plan to complete their freshman and sophomore years of college work at the community college level and then transfer to a four-year college or university. Reynolds also has articulation agreements for specific academic programs with many universities and colleges. When students follow the stipulations of the agreement, their associate degrees have complete transferability of all credits. The Center has also coordinated upcoming meeting opportunities in February with Old Dominion’s Teletechnet program. Representatives will be on campus to discuss transfer opportunities with interested students. For more information and dates, visit www.reynolds.edu/events.

The Career, Employment and Transfer Center also offers career planning and opportunities to brush up resume writing and interview skills. Counselors can help students identify their values, explore their career options and develop a plan of action to acquire and apply the skills and knowledge they gain at Reynolds.
