Transferring from Pima

The personal attention you'll find at Pima Community College, coupled with the excellent education, will put you ahead of the curve when it comes to transferring to a four-year college or university.

Our students are well-prepared, doing as well as, and often better than, students who may have entered the four-year institution as freshmen.

PCC advisors will work closely with you to follow the transfer steps:

1. Research and choose where you want to transfer.  Pima courses transfer to most colleges and universities.  Pima also has transfer agreements with a variety of schools.
2. Choose a major at your transfer school.  Knowing your major early will save you time and money.  For help choosing a major, consider taking STU 107, STU 109 or talk with an advisor.
3. Choose a related program of study at Pima.  An advisor can help you decide which PCC program of study is right for you.  Some resources to help you are:
   • PCC transfer degrees
   • AGEC (Arizona General Education Curriculum) certificate
   • Arizona transfer guides
4. Apply to the College or University you have selected.
   1. Submit transcripts
   2. Apply for financial aid (optional)
5. Communicate with an advisor at the transfer school you have selected.
6. Take STU 210 to learn transfer strategies (optional)
7. Apply for graduation.  The deadline is toward the beginning of each semester.
8. Request a final transcript.  If you completed required courses after you submitted your initial transcript, make sure to request a final transcript that contains all of your courses.
