The goal of the Student Support Services TRiO Program is to assist you with retention, graduation and transfer. To this end, we will make our best effort to keep you informed about upcoming transfer visit dates. You can also go the Advising and Counseling's Transfer Center at either campus to find school catalogs, transfer applications, and transfer requirements.
We strongly encourage you to go on campus tours on your own or with friends that are interested in the same institution. Also, we can link you with students from our program that may be interested in attending with you. An advisor can help prepare you for your visit. We have also provided you with additional contact information if you decide to go on your own.
If you feel the need to have an advisor attend with you, or would need transportation, contact us by the deadline stated under each event. To sign up, call (847) 635-1434, or visit the RHC Learning Center Front Desk in room A135.
