Preparing Your Education Plan!
Education planning should always be under the guidance of a Fullerton College counselor; students should never self-advise!
Students should also meet with a counselor every semester as colleges and universities could make changes to their admissions requirements that could impact your education plan. The best time to schedule your appointment with a counselor is 2-3 weeks into the semester; never wait until the registration period because counseling services typically experience the greatest demand for appointments during registration.
Counseling Services in the Transfer Center
The FC Transfer Center is a service of the Fullerton College Counseling Center which provides additional and limited counseling services in the Transfer Center throughout the academic year.
“Transfer counseling” is a function of ALL counselors and is predicated on the answers to these REQUIRED questions:
- What is your transfer major?
- What four-year colleges/universities do you intend to apply for transfer?
Thus, regardless of whether you receive educational counseling from the Transfer Center, Counseling Center, EOPS/CARE/FYSI, Grads to Be Program, Umoja Community Center, and/or Veterans Resource Center, you will be provided with the same high-quality counseling services to help you plan for your transfer!

To Request Counseling in the Transfer Center, please follow these steps
Step 1: Provide Fullerton College with Official Records of All Forms of College Credit
To schedule an appointment with a counselor in the Transfer Center, we must have access to your complete college record.
Thus, if you have attended another college or university or have taken college-level exams, you MUST report it.
- Official transcripts from all other colleges/universities that you have ever attended
- Exception: Cypress College – Our counselors have access to these records.
- Official exam scores for AP, CLEP and IB.
Advanced Placement (AP) Exams
If you have completed an AP Exam with a score of 3, 4, or 5, you MUST report it (this is NOT optional), and you should have provided Fullerton College with your official AP exam scores. To be considered “official” these scores should be sent directly from the College Board AP to Fullerton College Admissions & Records.

Step 2: Please review our No Show/Same-Day Cancellation Policy
Counseling services in the Transfer Center are very limited. Thus, to make best use of our limited appointments, and to conform with the “no show” policy of the Counseling Center, any student who misses 2 or more counseling appointments may be limited to booking same-day counseling appointments within a calendar year (Jan 1-Dec 31). Please note that same day cancellations are treated as no shows.
