Enroll in our Transition Course
As a first semester transfer, you will be navigating and adjusting to a new campus culture. This class is designed to help facilitate your transition by improving your knowledge of the research university and its resources, assisting you in identifying key academic skills and strategies for academic success, and encouraging community and student engagement. You will learn about various campus resources and opportunities that are available to you as a Cal student.
Academic Counseling
Transitioning to a 4-year research university from another college or university can be challenging. Our staff practices a holistic and solution-focused approach that helps you consider your options and explore the possibilities UC Berkeley provides.
The Transfer Student Center is excited to offer In-Person and Virtual Academic Counseling Appointments. Academic Counseling appointments will continue to be offered Monday-Friday 10 am-4 pm. Sign-up for either an In- Person or Virtual Appointment.
*Please note: academic counseling appointments are only for enrolled UC Berkeley students.
