Transfer Advising Committee
The Transfer Advising Committee (TAC) was formed in 2017 in conjunction with the Wayne State University Transfer Student Success Center (TSSC) and University Advising Center (UAC). It consists of Wayne State academic advisors, transfer advisors, administrators and other transfer champion professionals. Our mission is to raise awareness of common transfer challenges and collaborate to ensure the success of all transfer students. If you are interested in learning more about TAC, please contact Ranae Hamama (fz1608@wayne.edu).
Our responsibilities include:
- Develop best practices for transfer advising
- Facilitate communication between units and divisions across campus on issues related to transfer students
- Be a campus resource for transfer advising
- Support university orientation and engagement activities for the transfer student population
- Maintain contact with community college advisors to facilitate a positive transfer student experience
- Develop strategies and resources to help reduce campus run-around for transfer students
Mission
The mission of the Transfer Advising Committee (TAC) is to improve proficiency in transfer student and transfer credit best practices. With this enhanced knowledge, advisors will acquire a dynamic tool kit to help them accurately and holistically support students throughout the transfer process and beyond. We will provide these services to advisors and the Wayne State University community through guided workshops, guest speakers, training materials, and other related activities to secure a foundation in the nuances of partner institutions-specific practices and procedures.
