Admission Requirements for Incoming Transfer Students

1. Honors to Honors*
Some entering transfer students are invited to Campuswide Honors as part of the UCI admissions process through a program called Honors to Honors. Honors to Honors is a partnership with a group of community colleges, where the community college honors director may nominate outstanding honors students applying to UCI for special consideration for selection for Campuswide Honors and for merit scholarships. A 3.7 GPA and successful completion of the community college honors program are required. (Please note that, once you have been admitted to UCI as an Honors to Honors student, your final community college transcript must reflect successful completion of the community college honors program and a 3.7 overall GPA in order to remain in Campuswide Honors.) If admitted to UCI and these requirements are met, then no supplemental application for Campuswide Honors is required. For more information on the honors curriculum requirements for transfer students, visit honors.uci.edu/transfer. For more information on Honors to Honors, click here to view the flyer. For more information on transfer student resources at UCI, visit the Transfer Student Hub website.

2. By Application
Transfer students to UCI may apply to join Campuswide Honors if they have completed one quarter or more as a full-time student (12 graded units), with a 3.5 GPA or higher. (Please note that students who are admitted to Honors often have GPAs higher than the minimum required for consideration.) Transfer students may submit applications until the Monday (08:00AM PST) of Week 3 of winter quarter of their first year at UCI using their UCI transcript. Transfer students beginning their first quarter at UCI may also apply after they have submitted their Statement of Intent to Register to UCI and before starting classes at UCI using their community college transcript, if their community college cumulative GPA is 3.5 or higher. To be considered for fall quarter admission, you must apply no later than August 1 at 11:59 p.m. (PST). Students may submit one application to the CHC. Additional applications will not be considered.
