Honors Transfer Council of California
Supporting honors education and helping California community college students transfer to colleges and universities nationwide.
New to Honors?
Welcome to the club! The rest of us were once there, too. The good news is that we are all friendly and that you have a lot of resources at your disposal to help you get up to speed in a new task and in the wonderful world of honors education.
1. Join the Honors Transfer Council of California
This is a consortium of over 50 community college honors programs. We meet several times a year, always Fridays and available on Zoom, to share problems and solutions and exchange insights and experiences, and also to have some fun. Everyone in honors education is welcome to attend the meetings, even before your campus formally joins the group.
​
A New Director Meeting is held from 9:00 - 10:00 on the same day as our regular meetings. All members are sent links to this as well as other meetings about a week in advance.
2. Join the National Collegiate Honors Council (NCHC)
The NCHC is the national organization for honors education. It provides information and services to over 700 member honors programs. Throughout the year, helpful programming on a number of subjects, including a virtual transfer fair, is offered.
In addition to an invaluable annual conference, NCHC's special committees, signature programs, and publications offer many resources for honors professionals and honors students.

3. Join the Western Regional Honors Council (WRHC)
The WRHC represents honors programs in universities and colleges across the 13 states of NCHC's "Western Region." Through sharing information about honors programs and best honors practices region-wide, the WRHC creates an intellectual, programmatic, and administrative network of resources aimed at helping the region’s honors programs grow and thrive.
The WRHC Conference provides an outstanding showcase for undergraduate research at both two-year and four-year honors programs.
