Breaking the Barriers for Transfer Students: Applicability Over Transferability

The Alamo Colleges District Transfer Advising Guides (TAGs) highlight the steps necessary to construct transfer advising guides as part of the Guided Pathways national model. This is an integrated, institution-wide approach that helps students clarify their career and degree goals and the pathways that will help them achieve those goals. TAGs improve time toward goal completion by reverse mapping degree-applicable courses between Alamo Colleges and their transfer university of choice.
