Application and Admission Timeline: Transfer Students

Whether you live in California or anywhere else in the world, you can apply to the University of California. Do you meet the definition of a transfer applicant?

Before you apply, take a look at UC San Diego:

• 
• Explore our internationally respected academics and our spectacular campus on the eastern edge of the Pacific Rim. See rankings, honors, and history.
• Sign up for a tour of our campus in person or take our spectacular virtual walking tour.
• What are UC San Diego's six colleges all about? Find out the advantages of our unique system.
  

  Note: You can choose any major at every college.

Check key dates in the application process:

  Are you a TAG (Transfer Admission Guarantee program) student?

  Apply online during November.

  • File your application for the academic year, which begins with the following fall quarter.
  • When you apply online, we'll send you an email acknowledgement that we've received your application.

• January

  We'll confirm your application via e-mail so you can follow the application steps online — here's how:

  • You'll receive an ID number from UC Central Processing — this is your Application ID. You'll receive just one number, no matter how many UC campuses you apply to. Use this 7-digit Application ID number to access the application websites for each campus.
  • Around the third week of January, watch for an e-mail from UC San Diego that also includes this 7-digit Application ID number.
  • When MyApplication (the application status Web portal) is open, you'll be able to check the status of your application. If you try logging in prior to that, you'll find it's unavailable.
  • To log onto MyApplication, you'll need your:
    
    • 7-digit Application ID
    • Date of birth
    • City of birth
  • Once you log on, you'll see your individual campus ID number for UC San Diego (9 digits, beginning with the letter A). Use this number in all communications with the UC San Diego campus.

• January 1 to March 2

  • Apply for financial aid — check out the Financial Aid timeline.
  • Apply for a CAL grant. Forms are also available from your school counselor.

    Note: Applications are reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis.

• Mid–March to April 30

  Transfer admission decisions are posted.

  • You can view admission decisions online. You'll also receive an e-mail reminder to check MyApplication.
  • The online packet for admitted students will include a preliminary award notice for students who have filed a FAFSA, scholarship awards that have been made, and your application for housing.
