Application Tutorials and Guides

Each university system has its own application platform and requirements. California State University schools use Cal State Apply while the University of California uses the UC application platform..

Many private schools use the Common Application, while some colleges and universities use their own home grown systems.

The Transfer Center has gathered guides and resources to help you navigate the application process.

Select the application system below to access step-by-step tutorials, tips, and additional resources to support you as you complete your application.

Before you begin, be sure to have important information ready such as your coursework from all colleges attended, planned coursework for the upcoming term, household income information, etc.

The Transfer Center also hosts application workshops and labs during the summer term and fall semester to support students as they work on their applications. If you are applying to transfer for a winter/spring term, please stop by the Transfer Center during our walk-in hours for support.
