The Ultimate Guide to College Transfer is a comprehensive guide, designed to make college transfer between four-year schools as successful as possible. Chapters outline the steps to take from the moment a student finds him/herself considering college transfer to the first semester at his/her next college. The book contains vignettes (based on real student stories) and excerpts from interviews with transfer students, parents, and higher education professionals. The information and advice they share will be helpful, informative, and reassuring to families going through a college transfer and enlightening to high school and college personnel. College transfer, when done for the right reasons and in the right way, can be an extremely positive experience for students. This is especially true when the student goes from merely surviving in their old environment to thriving in their new one.

"After the excitement of college application season, it won’t be long before students will be coming to us and asking about transferring. This book will come in extremely handy. I used it this summer with a student who hoped to transfer from his community college to a major university. The authors discuss reasons for transfers, including roommate issues, and finances and include a pros and cons checklist with a clever financial tic tac toe review. There is also a section for community college and gap year advice along with quotes from our IECA colleagues." - IECA College Consultant Newsletter

"[This] book can be helpful not only for those who are looking to change four year colleges but for those who are also transitioning from community colleges, or who are looking attend a university after taking a gap year." - Syracuse Post-Standard

"The Ultimate Guide to College Transfer: From Surviving to Thriving is valuable not just for anyone contemplating transferring colleges. It can help families avoid having to go through this in the first place.... I wish The Ultimate Guide to College Transfer had been written years ago. It would have saved my family a lot of worry and unrest. Our daughter is a successful professional now, but when we were going through these changes, I worried about her future. Tyler and Henninger deftly guide both students and parents through the transfer process and provide tools so families can come out on the other side—speaking to each other. I believe that The Ultimate Guide to College Transfer should be part of the resource collection in every high-school guidance office. It also belongs in the lending libraries of college admission and counseling offices. You’ll probably want a copy of your own, though." - Ann Silverthorn
