Preparations While in Community College

As a student transferring from another college or university, you may have questions about eligibility, course requirements for your major, financial services, and the like. Here are several important places for you to visit in your quest for practical and effective information:
  • Introducing the University, a general resource for all students. This includes effective tools for selecting a campus and major, finding the money to pay for your education, and housing issues and opportunities.

  • Answers for Transfers, an extensive planning guide for transfer students. This document, presented in a workable menu format, includes information on special programs, housing, and financial and student services, as well as general UC information on admission requirements, transfer credit, and majors.

  • ASSIST (Articulation System Stimulating Interinstitutional Student Transfer) is California's official statewide repository of transfer information that displays how course credit earned at one California college can be applied when transferred to another.

  • UC Irvine General Catalogue, information on admission and graduation requirements, and all UCI academic programs. The Catalogue lists all the courses offered at UCI.

  • UC Irvine - Community College Transfer Admission, Selection, and Preparation: Overview of UC Irvine transfer admission and selection practices and lower-division degree requirements for all UC Irvine majors.

  • UC Irvine Transfer Programs:
If you are attending a California Community College, we recommend that you contact the counseling office or transfer center in your present school for additional, more specific information about transferring to UC Irvine.

You may also contact us for additional information. For California Community College students, the Office of Admissions and Relations with Schools offers in-person or telephone transfer advising most Fridays from 1:00p.m. to 3:00p.m. in room 204 of Aldrich Hall. Please call prior to your visit and plan to bring official or unofficial transcripts if possible.
