TRANSFER to a 4 year university after ARC. Anyone can transfer!

Taking steps to leave American River College and apply to a university takes planning and persistence. You do not have to make plans on your own. Meet with an academic counselor, instructor, your HomeBase team, and/or the Transfer Center, to make this journey possible.

We wish you the best on your academic journey at ARC. 🤩
