UC Transfer Prep Steps
Hello scholars,
If you are interested in applying to the University of California, it is best to start planning early (i.e., ASAP). The earlier you start, the more informed and prepared you will be to make a smooth transfer.
Below, you will find tips from the University of California Admissions.
1) Pre-Transfer Application Year:
Completing these steps will help you progress toward your transfer goals.
  • Meet with MESA's counselor to have an introductory conversation about transfer
  • Visit the transfer admission websites for your schools of interest:
  • Research your UC major:
  • Create a UC  using your student educational plan (SEP)
  • Schedule a meeting with a UC representative to discuss a  (TAG) 
  • Update your UC TAP at the end of each semester
  • Use  to ensure your classes are transferable to your institution of choice.
  • Join a UC Transfer Prep Program
    • (UC Berkeley)
    • (UC Davis)
    •  (UC Santa Cruz)
    •  (UC Irvine)
    •  (UC Santa Barbara)
  • Attend a UC summer transfer prep program
    •  (UC Berkeley)
    •  (UC Davis)
    • (UC Merced)
  • Attend UC transfer prep workshops
NOTE: Any UC application preparation you do with one UC will help you with your preparation for all UCs. Take advantage of the workshops and programs whenever possible.
2) Transfer Application Year:
Information provided by the University of California
Quick Tips: 
Apply to more than one UC campus.
This will significantly increase your chances of being admitted to the UC system. While you may not receive an offer of admission from your first-choice campus, all of our campuseswithout exceptionprovide outstanding opportunities for you to learn and grow.

Submit only one application per term.
Submitting multiple applications will cause a processing delay. Duplicate applications will be canceled. 

Apply on time.
You can fill out the application in as many sessions as you want, but remember, the submission deadline for Fall 2025 applications is December 2.

Starting the application:

An email address and password are required in order to create an account. You should use the email account for all of your applications. We also recommend you use a non-school issued email account (e.g. Gmail, Yahoo). Campuses send important, time-sensitive correspondence to applicants, so you should check your email regularly (including your spam folders).

Selecting term & level
After you create an account, youll need to select the term youre applying for (when you hope to start at UC) and your applicant level (e.g. transfer, etc.). You're a transfer applicant if you've graduated high school and are enrolled in a regular session (fall, winter or spring) at a community college.

Saving information
You should click Save & continue at the bottom of each page to save any entered information, as there is a 20-minute inactivity period after which the application will automatically sign you out. If youve successfully completed a page my answering all required questions, the page will be marked with a checkmark in the navigation bar on the right-hand side.

Review & submit
This is the last page youll visit before you start submitting the application. If you have remaining items to complete, you will see a To Do next to that section. Don't forget to make sure your application is complete before you submit it; very few changes can be made after submission.

Submitting the application 
Youll go through a few pages asking you to confirm your academic information and whether youd like to share your application information with certain groups such as scholarship agencies, parents or guardians and counselors. You'll also need to pay your application fees, either by check or credit card, and can apply for a fee waiver if you didnt automatically qualify for one earlier in the application. The fee waiver will cover your application fees for up to four campuses.

Confirmation
Once youve submitted your application, youll see a confirmation page with important reminders and your UC Application ID Number which is used to access the various campus student portals and, in many cases, to access your admission decisions. You can choose to print a receipt of your application fees or view and print the entire application.
 
 
3) Explore Financial Aid and Scholarships:
