TRANSFER SERVICES

Transfer seamlessly to other colleges.

Looking to transfer into a bachelor’s degree program? IRSC offers many bachelor’s programs, allowing you to continue your education without the need to transfer.

For students who do transfer, we have designed several of our associate and baccalaureate degrees to transfer seamlessly to other public and private universities.

And we maintain transfer agreements with colleges and universities throughout Florida and beyond. Our goal is to make it easy and affordable to earn a bachelor’s or post-graduate degree without losing credit for work you complete at IRSC.

Transferring can be a complicated process, and we are here to help. We offer transfer workshops on a regular basis via both face-to-face and online. We can provide support for your application process and help you find financial aid and scholarship sources.

We’re Here for You

Career and Transfer Services can help you with your career, too. We offer career advising, resume writing, mock interviews, internships, career fairs and more. All services are available in person, by phone, and online.

Transfer Agreements

When you transfer to a new college or university, it is sometimes difficult to get credit for all the courses you have already completed. Students may even need to retake courses or earn more credits to enter as a junior.

IRSC makes this process easier through transfer agreements with many colleges and universities. These agreements cover specific associate and bachelor’s degrees. They spell out the courses you must complete successfully for a seamless transfer experience. They may also include waived fees and tuition discounts for IRSC grads.

Review the agreements for colleges that interest you. Then work with your advisor to make sure you take the right courses. Remember that if you change your major or program, courses taken for your previous program may not count toward your new program.
