Transfers

To apply for transfer admission to a UCSD Jacobs School of Engineering major, students should complete the UC Undergraduate Application and select an engineering major as their first choice. The annual filing period is November 1-30.

Community college students who participate in the Transfer Admissions Guarantee (TAG) program may also apply for winter or spring quarter admission. Filing deadlines are published on the UC Undergraduate Application website .

UCSD has a six-college system and transfer applicants will need to rank the colleges in order of preference when applying for admission. The colleges help shape a student's program of study because general education requirements are determined by the college, while engineering major requirements are determined by the academic department. The Jacobs School is not affiliated with any one particular college, and engineering students are distributed amongst the six colleges. Learn more about the colleges »
