Get Ready to Transfer!
Many universities require you to submit documents, take
assessment exams, attend orientations, or meet other requirements before
you enroll. It's also a good idea to apply for
financial aid and scholarships at your university as well as for graduation and/or
GE
certification from City College before your transfer.
Petition to Graduate
from City
Graduation from City College is not automatic. You must file for
graduation in order to receive an Associate Degree or Certificate of
Achievement at the Evaluations desk in room A-110.

File for GE Certification from City
GE Certification is a legal agreement between City College and a
California public
university (UC or CSU) that assures all of your lower division
general education requirements have been satisfied. You should file for
GE certification once you are finished (or about to finish) all of your
transfer general education courses (CSU
GE or IGETC patterns) and know which university you will be
attending. Apply at the Evaluations desk in room A-110.
Apply for Financial
Aid
Most universities recommend you apply for financial aid between January
1 and March 2 for the upcoming school year.

Attend Graduation
You don't have to attend City College graduation
to transfer or to receive a degree or certificate, but it's a great way
to celebrate and be publicly recognized for your achievement. You earned
it!

Submit Intent to Register and Transcripts After
offering you admission, most universities require you to send a
statement of intent to register (SIR), official transcripts, a deposit,
and sometimes other materials. See your university admission paperwork
for more information.

Attend New Student Orientation Most universities
offer a new student orientation day where you tour the campus, learn
about services and requirements, receive academic advising, etc. See
your university admission paperwork for more information.
Send Final Transcripts You are usually required
to send your university a separate transcript showing your final grades
shortly after the end of the semester. Transcripts are usually sent
directly from your community college to the university.

Some universities require transfer students to complete assessment tests
either prior to enrollment or during their first semester or year of
attendance. See your university admission paperwork for more
information. Find Housing
Are you going to live on campus? If so, you will need to apply for
campus housing. See your university admission paperwork or the
university

need to start searching for housing in the local community. Most
universities have housing assistance offices to help you.

against certain communicable diseases, like measles or rubella. See your
