The Transfer Office provides services to students considering transfer to another college or university. Students considering transferring are encouraged to contact the Transfer Coordinator as early in their time at the College as possible. The Transfer Coordinator assists students in exploring transfer options, educational goals, planning appropriate course work while at GCC, completing applications to other schools, writing college essays and in choosing people to write college recommendations.

Students planning to transfer to one of the Massachusetts state-supported colleges or universities are eligible for MassTransfer.
