Transfer Orientation is a mandatory, one-day program that will introduce you to all things Channel Islands. At orientation, you will learn about CI-specific policies, programs, and services to assist you in a successful academic, emotional, cultural, and social transition. 

Orientation will help start your college experience and set you up for a successful academic journey. You will meet peers from all backgrounds who will change the way you see yourself and the world. Get ready for new friendships and experiences!

As a new transfer student, you are required to: 

  • Submit your college transcripts promptly, even if coursework is still in progress. 
    • Transfer credit will be posted to your record at CSUCI before your Academic Advising & Course Registration session, enabling you to use various Student Success Tools such as your CI Academic Requirements Report (CARR) and Degree Planner (csuci.edu/gradtools)
  • Attend your Academic Advising & Course Registration Session (held in December)
  • Submit records of immunity for CI’s general immunization requirements
  • Attend your Transfer Orientation Session (held in January)
