About Us

For the past decade, Orange Coast College has transferred more students to four-year universities than any other community college in Southern California! 

The Transfer Center provides comprehensive services and resources to assist students in preparation to transfer to four-year universities.  It includes access to transfer counseling, transfer related workshops, application assistance, campus tours and individual appointments with admission representatives from various four-year universities.  The Transfer Center also hosts transfer fairs throughout the year.  “Transfer Day" is the largest fair, held in the fall semester with representatives on campus from more than 50 four-year universities from both California and out-of-state!
