Transfer Student Programs

Welcome to Cal State East Bay!

Transfer Student Programs' mission is to help transfer students transition to the University with a greater sense of connection, engagement, and involvement with the East Bay community through academics and co-curricular activities. Our social media avenues help you connect with other transfers, get answers to frequently asked questions, and find out about events designed specifically with your needs in mind.

Meet with a Transfer Student Ambassador

Are you a new transfer student and have some questions? Transfer Student Ambassadors are here to assist and provide insight into our campus.

As a transfer student, you are a valued part of our community as you join many other students like you who are committed to pursuing their educational goals. We recognize that transfers have different needs than first-year students, and we are here to make your adjustment and transition into our community as smooth as possible.

Feel free to drop in during those hours or email Transfers@csueastbay.edu to connect to an ambassador outside these office hours.

For New Transfer Student Orientation - Visit the Transfer Student Orientation Page . Information for Spring 2025 Orientation will be available soon.

Transfer Student Programs serve as a resource hub for transfer students to access the support necessary to achieve their desired educational goals.
