Transfer Admission Programs — UC San Diego

Transfer Student Services

UCSD offers various services to help students with the transfer process. Articulation agreements have been developed with a number of California community colleges. These agreements outline courses that may be applied toward UCSD’s general education and major requirements. The agreements are available at the community colleges and at the ASSIST website.


Preadmission counseling is available through the Office of Admissions and Relations With Schools. In addition, UCSD counselors make regular visits to community colleges  to offer individual advising and group presentations.
