How can I be an FCC graduate after transferring to my four-year or other two-year college? If you have attended FCC and transferred before earning your associate degree, you are a candidate for Reverse Transfer!

 

What is Reverse Transfer?

Reverse Transfer is the simple process by which a former FCC student may complete an FCC associate degree while working on requirements at another two- or four-year college.  Students who begin their education at FCC and transfer to another institution may complete their associate degree requirements while working toward a bachelor’s degree.
