What is the Virtual Transfer Fair?

Due to the Covid-19 related cancellation of all in-person transfer fairs for the fall semester, the Maryland Community College Transfer & Articulation Affinity Group developed a new and exciting event to ensure that Maryland community college students continue to have guidance as they plan to transfer.

​

October 13 - 29, 2020 will mark the first ever Virtual Transfer Fair for the state of Maryland. The Virtual Transfer Fair will provide the opportunity for Maryland community college students planning to transfer to meet representatives from a variety of colleges and universities, explore college majors and degree programs, and learn about transfer pathways.

​

 

With more than 125 schools slated to present, students can engage with four-year institutions from Maryland, out-of-state schools, and Historically Black Colleges and Universities. This is the perfect event for students to get their transfer questions answered while networking with transfer champions from a variety of colleges and universities. This is an essential piece in facilitating a smooth transfer from a Maryland community college.

​

 

Students will be able to gather information about the following:

· Major and degree program offerings

· Steps for a successful transfer

· Application materials needed

· Entry requirements into competitive admission programs

· Contact information

· Campus life

​

This is a must attend event for all students motivated to transfer!

​

This event is free and open to Maryland community college students.
