ED 118: Transfer Success Course

The Office of First-Year Programs sponsors the Transfer Success Course for first- and second-quarter transfer students. The course consists of ten lectures and ten in-depth discussions co-facilitated by UCSB staff and undergraduate students. The purpose of the course is to provide new transfer students with a sturdy foundation for a successful transition to this new and challenging research/learning environment with the ultimate goal of getting the most out of the UCSB experience.

Topics include the mission of the research university, faculty expectations, career planning and graduate school preparation, and other academic, social, and personal issues relevant to transfer students.

100% of transfer students who have taken the course highly recommend it to new transfer students. Past students have said:

• "I loved this course! It taught me so much about what it takes to be a successful and happy student at UCSB."
• "This class was the most informative and helpful part of my transition process. It was one of the best classes I have ever had."
• "It gave me a lot of extensive information about the options that transfer students have at UCSB. It was nice to meet all the speakers from different campus departments."

ED 118 is a 4.0 unit course taught by Dr. Britt Andreatta. For enrollment information, read the Student Resource Team e-newsletters or the Schedule of Classes. New transfer students can request an add code by emailing TransferHelp@sa.ucsb.edu.
