Transfer Services 

Transfer Services provides a variety of programs, workshops, and educational material for students interested in continuing their academic studies beyond Bristol Community College. The Transfer Services webpage shares information and resources as students are getting started with planning their transfer process. Through the proactive advising process and transfer counseling, students can begin preparing for their transfer as soon as their first semester.
