Transfer Student Resources
Welcome, transfer students, to Sixth College! Transfer students are foundational to the Sixth College themes of Innovative, Interconnected, and Aware. Bringing to campus a wealth of knowledge and experience from various institutions and regions, transfer students expand our Sixth College community well beyond the edges of our neighborhood and add a new layer to the traditional college experience.
