So You Want to Transfer?

All those students planning on transferring to a four year school next fall: Make sure all of your information has been sent to the transfer school! Many deadlines have already past but others will be coming up very soon.

Many students come out of high school expecting college will be exciting and easily handled. Many have no idea what they want to do ... except go to college.


Knowing what you want is important. You need to pick a direction. You need to know that your path is achievable. Planning that path is vital.


Transferring to a four year school is a process not just an event. Talk to a counselor as you plan your future.

Randolph College: Regional Educational Access Program (REAP)


A private college education just got more affordable…

      Transfer students under the age of 241 and living in Lynchburg, Amherst, Appomattox, Bedford, Campbell, and Nelson Counties can now participate in the new Randolph College Regional Educational Access Program (REAP).

      Randolph College’s REAP provides a more affordable path to an outstanding private college education for transfer students this fall.

      When transfer students are accepted2 to Randolph College and live at home, tuition will be $12,2753 for the 2013-2014 academic year. A limited number of spaces are being reserved for area transfer students so please apply quickly.  Application deadline for transfer students is July 1st.

      REAP reduces the cost to attend Randolph to less than the average for tuition, room, and board for public colleges and universities in Virginia. According to the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV), tuition, mandatory fees, and room and board averaged $18,617 for the current academic year4.

      More importantly, REAP students will get an excellent education that rivals Virginia’s best institutions; learn in small classes with personal attention from faculty; and enjoy all of the sports, arts, cultural, and traditional events on campus. The Randolph Plan, a program that maps the academic path, enables students to acquire analytical, research, and communication skills that will prepare them for their first job, graduate school, and future careers that haven’t even been imagined yet.

     If someone you know is considering a transfer to a public or private four-year college, ask them to take a closer look at Randolph College’s REAP—and please tell your colleagues about this amazing opportunity. For more information, please contact Lisa Davies, Transfer Coordinator, at ldavies@randolphcollege.edu or 434-485-8038.
 
1Transfer students age 24 and older are not eligible for REAP but will receive a tuition discount of 50%.
2Regular transfer admission standards apply.  Go to www.randolphcollege.edu/transfer for more information.
3Your cost after $3,100 VTAG grant is applied. When you file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), you may be eligible for additional Federal aid. Other costs include books, parking fee ($100), student government fee ($210), and technology fee ($100)
