Transfer Academy is a university preparation program established by the Transfer Center. Its purpose is to increase the number of students considering, applying and getting admitted to the University of California campuses via the UC Transfer Admissions Guarantee (TAG). The UCs offer a Blue and Gold Opportunity Plan to help students pay for tuition by providing a scholarship. Before students can get to this place, students must complete the transfer process. The transfer process comes with expenses many of our students are not financially prepared to face.
The program aims to move students forward in their transfer journey by grooming them as early as their first semester to become UC bound and mitigate financial barriers such as incurring fees from the UC application, enrollment deposit, orientation, campus apartment security deposit, etc.
The Academy is also a space to help students grow professionally. Conferences are great opportunities to practice the social and academic skills needed to encourage growth outside of the classroom.
