Consulting Transfer, Summer, and Gap Year Students

An elective course in the Independent Educational Consultant Certificate Program.

Course Description

This course focuses on how to serve students in transition by studying three key areas within the college admissions process: advising high school students on summer programs and gap/interim year opportunities as well as supporting college students through the transfer admissions process. Topics will include transfer admission policies and procedures - and how they vary from school to school and state to state; how to identify and counsel students for whom a gap year may be appropriate - as well as information on specific programs; and how advising on these three topics can enhance the practice of an independent educational consultant.

We highly recommend students complete EDUC_X406 Principles of Independent Educational Consulting prior to enrolling in this course. See enrollment confirmation for login information. Due to high demand, early enrollment recommended.
