Overview
Counseling for transfer students in STEM areas needs to be specialized because STEM
requirements tend to be sequential, making the path to graduation significantly
different than for other majors. A new STEM counselor has been hired to service
both Riverside Community College and the Riverside Community College Norco campus.
The counselor/s have developed a comprehensive approach to advising Riverside Community
College (RCC) STEM students. A new feature in that approach is software to make
an individualized study plan, including course work from the community college and
Cal Poly Pomona. An Admissions Counselor is located at the MLK library on the RCC
campus twice weekly to facilitate the dissemination of information and developing
individual transfer plans for students wishing to enroll at Cal Poly Pomona.
