The Registrar will also propose an unofficial plan for enrollment for the student's consideration in deciding whether to proceed with transfer plans. If a student is accepted as a transfer student, the student will then work with the Registrar in creating a formal plan for completion of WSCC graduation requirements. All students who expect to participate in financial aid programs while enrolled at WSCC should contact the WSCC Financial Aid Office as soon as they begin considering transfer.
