For new Fall 2020 students....
We recommend that all Transfer students first carefully read all of the information on the Transfer Pre-Orientation Website (T-POW): http://orientation.uci.edu/tpow/Welcome.php
All incoming transfer students are required to attend Academic Advising in the summer. On campus group academic advising sessions are offered as follows:
- Dates/Locations TBA
The number of seats in these sessions are limited. Students who choose this option should expect to be on campus for at least 3 hours. This option is best for students who want to enroll in classes as soon as possible.
**Students who cannot attend any of the above sessions will have the opportunity to complete online academic advising online after September 1.**
Before you register for Summer Advising, you must first complete the online Academic Course History form.
The Academic Course History form tells us about the courses you’ve previously taken, as well as courses you've completed/or plan to complete in Winter/Spring/Summer 2020 terms.
It is VERY IMPORTANT that this form is submitted accurately; what you submit will impact your ability to enroll correctly into Fall 2020 quarter when you arrive for an academic advising session. This could delay your ability to enroll into courses if you do not submit the form accurately.
In addition, before you complete this form, you must have electronic copies of ALL unofficial transcripts (from all colleges/universities that you’ve attended) and your IGETC certificate (if available) in electronic format. PDF format is preferred. You will be required to upload all documents as part of the Academic Course History form.
It is recommended that you complete the Academic Course History form as soon as possible.
When you have all electronic documents, you can proceed to the online Academic Course History form here: https://ps.uci.edu/stuaff/content/academic-course-history-form
