UCSB Transfer Student Module
The UCSB Transfer Student Module length takes approximately one and a half hours to complete. In order to receive an earlier registration pass time, you must spend at least 45 minutes completing the online module and it must be completed by Monday, August 4, 2025. You do not need to complete the Transfer Student Module in one sitting; if you exit, then log in at a later time, the module will save your progress.
The transfer module is not a replacement for attending an in-person Transfer Orientation session. Instead, it provides an important foundation for students to build upon and refer back to during their campus orientation experience. The Transfer Orientation fee covers the Transfer Student Module and an in-person Transfer Orientation session - there is no additional cost for attending Transfer Orientation after completing the Transfer Student Module. More information about billing can be found through Fees and Billing.
Fall Course Registration
Course registration does not take place during Transfer Orientation sessions. Students who complete the Transfer Student Module before the deadline will receive an earlier registration pass time in mid-August. Students will register for courses during the pass time indicated on GOLD.
2025 Deadline
The deadline to complete the Transfer Student Module and receive an earlier registration pass time is Monday, August 4, 2025. No exceptions will be made to this deadline.
The 2025 Transfer Student Module will be made available soon!
Please note that continuing students register for their classes before incoming students, so your first choice of courses may not always be available. All students will be able to register for courses appropriate for their first quarter at UCSB.
