Campus Culture for Transfers

• Transfers are 41% of the 2012 entering class• We admit LDT, UDT, and Post-Bac to all majors• Summer work (just prior) is not used to qualify for admission• LDT must complete English comp and college math (B4) by end of Spring

prior to enrollment• Transfers often must take four years to complete their degree because of

degrees with high unit requirements and extreme pre-requisite sequencing• They are highly welcomed, but no special programs exist for transition
