New Transfer Admissions and Link Office

Florida Atlantic University has officially opened a new Transfer Admissions and Link Office. This office is located on the first floor, room 103 of the university College Library on the Davie campus. An FAU Link Advisor will be available in the office space, Monday - Thursday, from 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM. They will provide students with information about FAU's academic programs, support them through their transfer process, and increase awareness about the Link to FAU Program, our enhanced 2+2 pathway, in partnership with Broward College. FAU shares the Davie campus and the University College Library with Broward college, which is Broward College's Central and largest campus. This shared access provides numerous advantages for Broward college students who join FAU's Link Transfer Success Program while still a student at Broward College. During their time as a student at Broward College, they will have access to FAU Link Advisors; guaranteed priority admission to FAU; exclusive access to apply for a Link Scholarship; Invitations to FAU student events, and access to other amenities and resources such as the FAU Recreation Centre and Career Center. These benefits make the transfer process to FAU easier once they complete their associate degree.

"Florida Atlantic wants to make the transfer experience easy. We are committed to meeting Broward College students where they are—on their campus—and provide them with advising and access to FAU services early in their academic career" (Linda Johnson, Associate Vice President FAU Broward Campuses). Florida Atlantic University wants our transfer students to feel comfortable and confident with their transition most conveniently and efficiently possible. Implementing this new transfer and link office is FAU’s way of acknowledging the process and showing appreciation for students' time and efforts. "Our new Transfer Admissions space in the BC/FAU Library provides a convenient location for Broward College students to meet with us and learn about our academic programs, the Link program, and our admission requirements. This highly visible space also helps the students see FAU's terrific partnership with BC. They see that transitioning to FAU couldn't be easier" (Jeff Headly, FAU Transfer Admissions Counselor).
