SBCC College Transfer Fair on Oct. 30 promises transfer goal success ... and FUN!
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (October 29, 2024) — Santa Barbara City College (SBCC) will host more than 70 colleges and universities
on its West Campus Great Meadow on Wednesday, Oct. 30, 11 a.m.-2 p.m., at its annual
College Transfer Fair — a large scale example of the many ways the college has championed
transfer success for its students, especially in recent years.
Students who are just starting their college education, plan to transfer to a four-year college in Fall 2025, or are somewhere in between, can explore their higher education possibilities with representatives from the University of California; California State University; and California private/independent, out-of-state, and international institutions. The Transfer Fair is a community event and all are welcome to attend.
Wednesday’s Transfer Fair is a unique opportunity for students to learn about admissions requirements, academic programs, financial aid and scholarships, and housing from SBCC representatives and visiting universities. The day’s events will also feature FREE food by Bombazo burritos, ice cream and beverages, a photo booth, music, transfer games and prizes, and free university and SBCC swag.
