Selena Dollar
Assistant Director of Transfer Services

dollarsr@appstate.edu

My name is Selena Dollar and I serve as the Assistant Director in the Office of Transfer Services. My main job responsibilities are to supervise the articulation unit and provide support for the office's technical needs. One recent improvement we have made is to the Transfer Course Equivalency Search. It now enables students to create their own preliminary credit evaluations. Our office strives to communicate changes in General Education and specific majors by providing the most current course information through the Transfer Course Equivalency Search. The thing I enjoy most about my job is the opportunity to help students and the Transfer Course Equivalency Search is just one of the tools we use in assisting.
