The next information sessions for students are being held February 13^th-16^th in the Student Services building on the Rio Hondo campus. Many counselors have been filtering the information to students by visiting various classes to encourage students to attend the information sessions. Many counselors are encouraging students to attend the trip especially if they have aspirations to transfer. The first information meeting was held by counselors in the Transfer Center on February 13^th and the meeting was open to any student that was interested.

The Northern California University Tour is presented to students as an opportunity to visit campuses in Northern California that they can potentially transfer to.

The campuses being visited on the tour are San Francisco State University, University of California Davis, University of California Santa Cruz, California State University Sacramento, University of California Berkeley, and University of California Santa Barbara during the span of two days. The counselors promoting the trip are advertising the trip as an opportunity to visit many campuses that aren’t within driving distance for students.

The deadline to apply for the trip is Friday, March 3^rd at 2:00 pm. The students are encouraged to submit their application in a timely manner using the online application link provided during the information sessions.
