Task #1: Find a Campus to Which You Might Want to Transfer

Return to the lesson on California's Higher Education System.  Link to any California campus by clicking on the campus of your choice. Find out something that interests your about this four-year school as it relates to why you would consider transferring there. For example you could link to UC Berkeley and discover the name/e-mail address/phone of an advisor for your major. Or you could inquire whether a particular campus schedules guided tours.

Task #2: Post Your Findings to the Discussion Area

Once you have collected your information, go to the discussion area and make a posting of your information under the topic Transfer. If you like, respond to some other students' posting perhaps to give them feedback or to add new information.
