<p>Great to see you have everything planned out, wish I did something similar before I transferred. My advice would be:</p>
<ul>
<li>No need to wait for January to research scholarships. </li>
<li>Get any transcripts from previous colleges in your spare time, not before the deadline to send in transcripts.</li>
<li>When you visit each campus, go straight to the major advisor and ask them any questions you have</li>
<li>Have the graduation office (NOT a counselor) verify you’ve completed/in the process of completing all of the IGETC requirements long before submitting for certification<br></li>
<li>Estimate the cost of attendance for each UC </li>
<li>Make plans for you summer, whether it is attending summer session, working, or a vacation. </li>
<li>Keep orientation dates open</li>
</ul>
