Quick Question

  • Depending on the question you have, you may be referred to make an appointment with a counselor. 

Appointments

  • Appointments are for Transfer Students planning to transfer from Grossmont to a 4-year university with questions beyond our Quick Questions/e-Advising service.  If you are not planning to transfer and would like to schedule a counseling appointment (for example, you have questions about Associate degree requirements, are requesting assistance with a petition, have overload questions, etc) please visit the Counseling Center website to schedule an appointment.  
  • You may choose Zoom or phone appointment.  Please let us know your preference when requesting an appointment.
  •  Use our online appointment scheduling system to schedule an appointment with a Counselor.  Be sure to note in the comments: 1) preference for Zoom or phone appointment, 2) transfer institution, 3) major, and 4) topics you'd like to discuss.  Appointments scheduled with a Transfer Counselor, that are not transfer related will be canceled.
  • Or you may email us* at grossmont.transfer@gcccd.edu to request an appointment.  Include your name, ID# and phone number, request for phone or Zoom appointment, date(s)/time(s) preference and the questions you would like a Counselor to address.
  • Log in to Zoom at your appointment time.  Students 15 minutes late will need to reschedule.  If you have indicated a preference for a phone appointment, your Counselor will call the phone number on file at your appointment time.

Please know: While the Grossmont College campus has been closed until further notice in response to COVID-19, it remains our goal to provide information for effective transfer planning to California State University (CSU), University of California (UC), Independent/Private or Out-of-State Colleges and Universities.  In an effort to provide the best services we can during this challenging time we are making as much information available online as possible and as soon as possible.  Please check back regularly.  We will get through this together and be stronger because of it.

I received my admission decision from the university. What are my next steps?

Next steps will depend on the university you applied to and also on the admission decision you received. We invite you to connect with a Counselor either through our e-Counseling Quick Question format or by scheduling an appointment.  Please see the “Counseling Support during Closure” section on our website for details.

I have been admitted to a university for fall 2020. But I'd like to start in the summer. How can I do that?

In order to make this request for an earlier start date you will need to speak with your university’s Admissions Office.

I was denied admission to SDSU, how do I appeal?

How do I look for other options for fall 2020 transfer?

 University Representatives that were scheduled to be at our Spring 2020 Transfer Options Fair have provided information about their campuses, how to apply and their university representative's contact info.  This is available on our Transfer Fair website.  Many of these campuses continue to accept applications for the 20-21 academic year.

 

Contact Us with additional questions.

Should I opt for P/NP?
 It is critical to consult a counselor re P/NP.  While UC and CSU are being more flexible with P/NP in regards to admissions for Fall 2020 there are other implications to consider, including, but not limited to: screening criteria within the major/department, prerequisites for upper-division courses, future career, licensing, financial aid, etc.  Counselors can be reached via Ask a Counselor or the Grossmont Transfer Center email: grossmont.transfer@gcccd.edu.
How has the UC responded to COVID-19?
 Please consult the UC's response on admissions to COVID-19 site.
How has the CSU responded to COVID-19?
 Please consult the Admission Guidance for Incoming Transfers on the Cal State Apply website.
How can I contact my future CSU campus?
 If you have a specific question for a CSU campus, you may reach out to them via email.  Contact information for each of the 23 CSU campuses can be found here.
How do I request my official transcript be sent to my university?

Transcripts are being sent while campus is closed.  Transcripts sent to SDSU will be sent electronically.  All other transcripts are sent by mail.  For instructions how to request transcripts to be sent please see the Admissions and Records webpage and specifically the information "Official Transcripts--Order Online".

 

Please Note: Your GCCCD transcripts will include both Grossmont and Cuyamaca coursework.  If you attended another college/university outside of our district you will need to complete a separate request through that college.

How do I request GE Certification?
 Depending on the University you are transferring to, you may need to request GE Certification.  To initiate this process please email Grossmont.Evaluations@gcccd.edu.
How do I send Final ADT Verification to my CSU?
 Final verification of your ADT is included on your final transcripts.  Final transcripts deadline for CSU campuses is July 15.  Final transcripts deadline for the UC campuses is July 1.  Extensions have been granted for students that need them. If you have attended a campus outside of GCCCD and cannot meet the posted deadlines, please work with your university campuses directly.
