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, Chemistry, Earth and
Environmental Sciences, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology,
Economics (all majors), Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Information and Computer
Science, Computer Science, Informatics, 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.
- Information and Computer Science, Computer Science,
and Informatics:
Since Java is used extensively in the curriculum, transfer students
who enter the ICS, CS or Informatics major without the ability to
program in Java should plan to learn it, by studying on their own or
by taking a Java programming course, prior to taking courses that
assume knowledge of Java. ICS 80: Java for C++ programmers is typically offered during
the second summer session in order to meet the needs of incoming transfer students.
Transfer students should also be aware that
if they cannot obtain a Java course prior to their first quarter at
UC Irvine, they may be required to complete a Java related course during their
first quarter at UC Irvine.
