Transfer Services
Transfer Services assists students in transitioning from ASUN to another institution to pursue a bachelor’s degree or higher.
Your Transfer Plan Earning an associate degree at ASUN can provide a cost-effective pathway to a bachelor’s degree. To ensure a smooth transfer process, it’s beneficial to start planning early—ideally during your first semester.
While transfer and first-year application processes share similarities, specific requirements vary by institution. Some schools accept the Common Application for transfer students, while others have their own application.
If you're considering transferring to a four-year college, schedule an appointment with our Career and Transfer Services team. We can help you create a personalized transfer plan, meet important deadlines, and successfully transition to your desired institution.
