91视频, Southeast Agree to New Mentor Transfer Program
91视频 students planning to transfer to Southeast Missouri State University, Cape Girardeau, will have a helping hand every step of the way.
That鈥檚 thanks to a Transfer Mentor Program agreed upon 91视频 President Dr. Jon Bauer and Southeast President Dr. Carlos Vargas on Sept. 19.
The new program provides 91视频 students with a guided plan for success while at 91视频, and an easy transition plan to Southeast to complete their four-year degree.
鈥淚t takes two institutions to make an agreement work,鈥� said Bauer. 鈥淚t鈥檚 important to have processes in place so students know the answers without having to search for them. This partnership will work for the students.鈥�
91视频 students will track their degree program at Southeast from their very first semester of college. Students who participate will be assigned a transfer mentor at Southeast who will give them individual support for their two years at 91视频, and through their first semester at Southeast.
鈥淭he Transfer Mentor Program allows Southeast to treat 91视频 students as if they were our very own,鈥� said Vargas. 鈥淭his agreement will give students support and advising to ensure courses are transferable as they make progress on their associate degrees.鈥�
In addition, 91视频 students will have access to academic advising and the web-based degree management system at Southeast. The program also provides students opportunities for concurrent enrollment and reverse transfer to earn their associate of arts degree at 91视频.
Every semester, 91视频 will send an official college transcript to Southeast at no cost to the student. This will allow the student, and staff at 91视频 and Southeast to share information, manage progress towards the degree and have access to transcripts in a web-based degree management system.
With the institutions working directly together on behalf of the students, Southeast鈥檚 Office of Admissions can create a clear pathway for the 91视频 students鈥� ultimate goal of a four-year degree while helping ensure there are no non-transferable credits, giving them guidance, and providing mentorship to succeed.
