Transfer Priorities and Options

 Being aware of your priorities and preferences helps you in defining and achieving your transfer goal. To a large extent, your transfer priority determines your available transfer options.  As you progress and have more information and experience, your priorities and preferences might change.

Review the transfer priorities listed below and and select your top priority to learn about your transfer options and strategies.

My transfer priority is...

Transferring in the shortest time possible (2 years or less).

Transferring to a specific university (e.g. UCSB). 

Being admitted and graduating with a degree in my major

Transferring to a university that does not require a transferable math course for admission.

Transferring to a university in a specific geographic area. 

Transferring to a university that that I can afford so I will have minimal or no student loan debt.

Transferring to a university where part-time study is allowed.

Achieving the highest GPA possible.

What if my transfer priority does not match my transfer goal?

- You can always adjust your priorities to ensure that they match your transfer goals.

- Meet with an academic counselor as soon as possible to help you identify the information and experience you need to align your priorities with your goals.

- Since transfer admission requirements are fluid and can change from term to term make sure you meet regularly with an academic counselor to update your Student Education Plan.
