COMET ( College Odyssey: Making Easier Transitions)

COMET is a peer advising program designed by Services for Transfer and Re-Entry Students (STARS) to make the transition to UC Santa Cruz for newly-admitted transfer students a smooth and easy one. Current UC Santa Cruz transfer and re-entry students (who have themselves transferred from a community college) have volunteered to meet with newly-admitted students one-on-one during spring quarter to

 

• show new students around the UC Santa Cruz campus

• familiarize them with the shuttle system

• take them to a class or two in their academic area of interest

• answer questions they may have about transferring to UC Santa Cruz

and STARS treats everyone to lunch!!

 

The COMET program gives students a great perspective on what attending UC Santa Cruz is really all about. If you are a newly-admitted student and would like to take part, please give STARS at Kresge Coordinator, Claudia Parrish, a call at (831) 459-5886 between the hours of 9 and 5 Monday through Friday. Or you can e-mail Claudia at cparrish@ucsc.edu. She'd welcome the opportunity to discuss our program, or answer any questions you might have about the transfer experience.
