Transfer Student Ombudsman

It is the mission of the Maricopa County Community College (MCCCD) TSO to act as an advocate for our students who have met the essential and reasonable expectations of a student attempting to transfer and still perceive obstacles in their transfer process. The MCCCD TSO student advocacy role will act to ensure that the articulation process and any transfer processes related to articulation between Maricopa Community Colleges and all other Arizona state post-secondary public institutions are student-centered, equitable and logical.

Specifically, the MCCCD TSO will:

Clarify advising/transfer issues and advocate for students experiencing obstacles in the transfer process. Work collaboratively with university TSOs to resolve problems/issues related to transfer to provide a seamless transfer process. Serve as an on-campus clearinghouse to track and document issues.

Student Responsibilities:

A student can expect the transfer process to be seamless only if he/she has declared a major, embarked on the appropriate degree pathway(s), and met other expectations normal for a person who eventually plans to earn a college degree. These expectations include:
  • Declare a major and select a university, ideally, by the time 30 credits have been earned. Undecided students are encouraged to work closely with the Counseling Department and/or Career Center to select a major, university and career choice.
  • Work with an advisor at the community college to develop an educational plan.
  • Select and successfully complete course work based on this educational plan.
  • Request all necessary documents and official transcripts from all post-secondary institutions be sent to the community college and/or university in a timely manner.
  • File for graduation at the community college, if appropriate.
  • Follow guidelines for university admission and to the appropriate professional program within the particular college. This includes such things as deadlines, GPA requirements, immunizations, financial aid, and, where appropriate, any necessary requirements for the particular professional program.
  • Work with the appropriate university advisor to continue their educational plan.
These expectations are essential to ensure the seamless transfer process. If a student has met these expectations and still perceives obstacles in the transfer process, he/she should contact the campus TSO.
