Transfer Admission to UC Irvine

The majority of students will be selected on the basis of academic performance, as assessed by review of the following: GPA, number of UC-transferable units completed, and depth of preparation for the major.

Highest priority for admission is given to California resident junior-level applicants from California community colleges. Preference will also be given to community college students who have participated in academically selective honors courses or programs. Junior transfer students from four-year colleges, including other UC campuses, and lower division transfer students may be considered as space permits.

Some students will be selected on the basis of academic and personal achievement, potential and experience, as assessed through a comprehensive review of all information provided on the application, including academic performance as described above plus the following: an exceptionally challenging curriculum; outstanding accomplishments relevant to academic aims; hardships or unusual circumstances the applicant has faced, and the ways in which the applicant has responded to these challenges; a strong, thoughtful match between UC Irvine's programs and the student's academic and career objectives, preparation, talents and skills; and potential contributions to the campus.

Fall term applicants must complete required English composition and mathematics courses by the end of the spring term preceding enrollment at UC Irvine. Winter term applicants must complete these courses by the end of the preceding summer term.

  • Biological Sciences, Business Information Management, Chemistry, Computer Science, Computer Science and Engineering, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Economics (all majors), Engineering, , Informatics, Information and Computer Science, Mathematics, Nursing Science, Physics, Public Health Policy and Public Health Sciences:
    There is additional emphasis on preparation in the selection of students applying to these majors. Students must complete prerequisite courses for the major, as published in the UC Irvine General Catalogue.

  • Preparation for all transfer students admitted to majors in the Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences (including Business Information Management):
    Java is used extensively in the curriculum; therefore, students should plan to learn it by studying on their own or by completing a Java-related programming course prior to their first quarter at UC Irvine.
