Orange Coast College's Transfer Center will host five one-hour workshops during the month of November, designed to show students wishing to transfer to the University of California how to prepare their application essay. Workshops will be held in OCC's Transfer Center, Counseling and Admissions Building, and Administration Building.
Admission is free, but appointments are necessary.
Students wishing to transfer to the UC system in the fall of 2001 must file an application between Nov. 1-30, 2000. The 500-word essay that accompanies each application must contain information about personal background, academic background, academic awards, and academic and career goals. Last year, Orange Coast ranked first among Southern California's 57 community colleges in the number of students it transferred to the UC and California State University systems.
