天涯社区log, Southeast Agree to New Mentor Transfer Program
天涯社区log students planning to transfer to Southeast Missouri State University, Cape Girardeau, will have a helping hand every step of the way.
That鈥檚 thanks to a Transfer Mentor Program agreed upon 天涯社区log President Dr. Jon Bauer and Southeast President Dr. Carlos Vargas on Sept. 19.
The new program provides 天涯社区log students with a guided plan for success while at 天涯社区log, and an easy transition plan to Southeast to complete their four-year degree.
鈥淚t takes two institutions to make an agreement work,鈥� said Bauer. 鈥淚t鈥檚 important to have processes in place so students know the answers without having to search for them. This partnership will work for the students.鈥�
天涯社区log students will track their degree program at Southeast from their very first semester of college. Students who participate will be assigned a transfer mentor at Southeast who will give them individual support for their two years at 天涯社区log, and through their first semester at Southeast.
鈥淭he Transfer Mentor Program allows Southeast to treat 天涯社区log students as if they were our very own,鈥� said Vargas. 鈥淭his agreement will give students support and advising to ensure courses are transferable as they make progress on their associate degrees.鈥�
In addition, 天涯社区log students will have access to academic advising and the web-based degree management system at Southeast. The program also provides students opportunities for concurrent enrollment and reverse transfer to earn their associate of arts degree at 天涯社区log.
Every semester, 天涯社区log will send an official college transcript to Southeast at no cost to the student. This will allow the student, and staff at 天涯社区log and Southeast to share information, manage progress towards the degree and have access to transcripts in a web-based degree management system.
With the institutions working directly together on behalf of the students, Southeast鈥檚 Office of Admissions can create a clear pathway for the 天涯社区log students鈥� ultimate goal of a four-year degree while helping ensure there are no non-transferable credits, giving them guidance, and providing mentorship to succeed.
