This activity would be designed as a resource for students intending to transfer from a junior college to a 4-year university. This would also be useful for academic advisors from both types of institutions.
The need in this case is to provide useful information in the form of guides and checklists to help students intending to transfer as they navigate the process of transitioning from a junior college to a 4-year university.
For this third stagae of the project, the goal is to finalize the products which are being designed to help guide 2-year college music majors as they begin the process of transferring to the four-year university of their choice. In keeping with the spirit of my experts, who have been giving feedback, a set of guidelines that will help navigate the process are being refined, and will eventually be made available to the upcoming sophomores who will be transferring after this year. To make this better available to them, these materials once refined and produced, will be made available through Google sites as either virtual or downloadable PDFs.
While this is not a music activity directly, this is a product that will be designed specifically for music majors, outlining the steps involved to transfer into a music department of a 4-year university.
Here is the most current version of the checklist.
Word documents have been created, and thefinal products can be found below. Refining these documents has been accomplished by providing them to the experts, I interviewed for their feedback and further suggestions for revision.
These documents have been exported to PDF format and uploaded to a Google site that has been created to house these documents and provide a central location for students to refer to during their transfer process.
As mentioned in the how sections, the materials need to include:
Computer access to websites of both institutions
Access to lists of admissions procedures
Curriculum guides for core music courses at both institutions
Word processing software
Ability to create fillable PDFs
Here is the most current version of the checklist and curriculum croswalks.
