Days Fill October
In an effort to accommodate students, UC Santa Barbara has dramatically
increased the number of preview days it holds in October.
“We thought we would serve the students better if they came at
a time that was more convenient in their schedules,” said Associate
Director of Admissions and Outreach Services Lisa Przekop. “We
also found that tour groups on the one-day events got very large and
by spreading tours across the entire month, group tours were smaller
and therefore more personal.”
The issue is similar for transfer students, according to Przekop. She
said that transfers are much better served by a more flexible schedule
as well as a smaller setting to ask questions than at the larger Transfer
Saturday, which no longer exists. (Note: the print version of the September
UC Notes insert erroneously listed a Transfer Saturday for
this year.)
The October preview days are slated Mondays–Saturdays, 11 a.m.–
2 p.m. Freshman presentations begin at 11 a.m. on Mondays–Saturdays.
Transfer presentations are held Thursdays and Fridays only at 1 p.m.
More information about preview days is available online.
