The Transfer Student Services Center (TSSC) is designed to enhance the overall experience for incoming and newly enrolled transfer students. The main goal of the TSSC is to ensure that the transfer student has a successful transition from a previous institution to the SXU community. The transfer process can be very challenging which is why the Transfer Student Services Center has been created to help students achieve a baccalaureate degree from SXU.
The following services for the TSSC are in place to assist our prospective and newly enrolled transfer students: clear and concise pathways for students to follow while at a community college, tailored transfer advising, a transfer-serving/transfer-friendly space, and a mentorship program for incoming transfer students.
The TSSC also supports several of our community partners with the opportunity to participate in the Guaranteed Admission Agreement. The goal of the Guaranteed Admission Transfer Partnership is to identify key support services that the transfer student will need in order to make for a smooth transition to the University. Full-time students who participate in this transfer partnership are provided a clear and precise pathway to earn quality, accessible and affordable associate and bachelor's degrees. There is a strong commitment between SXU and community colleges to facilitate the transfer and degree completion of students.
Transfer students are encouraged to participate in our Transfer Peer Mentorship Program which is designed to relieve transfer students from the stress of starting at a new school.
Transfer students have the opportunity to become a member of Tau Sigma which is a National Honor Society. Tau Sigma recognizes and promotes the academic excellence and involvement of transfer students. Membership is by invitation only as long as transfer student has completed a full-academic year at previous institution; enrolled as a full-time student at SXU; and achieves a GPA of 3.5 or higher their first term at SXU.
