Transfer Selection Criteria — UC San Diego

All Colleges

Applicants are selected primarily on the basis of academic performance, as assessed by review of the GPA in all UC-transferable courses and the number of UC-transferable units completed one full term prior to the initial quarter of attendance at UC San Diego.

After upper-division transfer students from California community colleges, highest priority for admission is given to upper-division transfer students from other UC campuses, upper-division California-resident transfer students from other two-year or four-year institutions and upper-division transfer students who are not residents of California.
