The closer the schools the easier the communication will be. Aim high but be realistic and know where to start. It’s great that you want to have the entire college to collaborate with one another but, simply start with one school in the college. For example, the engineering school or business school first, then you’ll be able to expand. Before conducting any meetings, prepare, prepare, prepare. Have a list of benefits for both sides, respectively, available include topics such as mutual recruitment. Have some incentives such as sharing school resources, details on which resources. Databases, libraries, facilities, etc. Communication is a major Key. Talk to the faculties, discuss with the professors at both colleges, what classes are able to transfer, which topics need to be covered. It will could lead to the change of multiple course structures but in the end will benefit the students. Students transferring will have less of a confusion dealing with credit transfers. Create a list of courses and credits that could transfer and associate them between college and universities. This will allow transfer students to take upper level classes without spending extra time retaking pre-requisites for the class.</span></span>

It allows an ease of transitions from location, community, and financially for the individual. However, in some cases there are “stigmas” that are associated to Community college transfer. We felt that the best way to break theses issue is by communicating, display positivity, and don't feed the issue. Talk to your professors, take advantage of being able to form a closer relationship between professors and advisors while in the community college and have them reach out to professors at the universities. Get involved with the community, you’ll learn more about it, get accustomed and build a positive reputation.</span></span>
