Overview

Transfer Edge participants benefit from the opportunity to engage with advisors, peer mentors, and program staff to create an academic roadmap that reflects their educational goals, long before the start of Fall Quarter. Edge students are enrolled in specialized transfer-focused courses aimed to familiarize them with campus resources, facilities, and services designed to support success and well-being. Students round out their schedules by registering for academic courses that count toward degree progression. With a holistic introduction to all that UC Santa Barbara has to offer, Transfer Edge equips incoming transfer students with the tools and information to make the most of their time at the university.  

Beyond academics, Transfer Edge brings students together in a supportive community that fosters lasting relationships. A variety of social activities and events are offered each week, allowing students to build community with their peers while constructing a unique experience that suits their needs and priorities.
