Transfer Students
EAP welcomes transfer student participation.
Transfer students from two and four-year institutions in California are encouraged to consider participation on EAP in their first or second year at UC. In fact, Community College transfer students make up about 13 percent of the total EAP enrollment.
Some UC campuses allow transfer students to apply to EAP prior to UC enrollment and to study abroad before actually studying at UC. Others let students apply while still at CCC but require that they spend a term at UC before going abroad. The rest require that students wait until they are enrolled at UC before applying to EAP.
Plan ahead!
Transfer students should begin their linguistic and academic preparations for EAP while they are at the community college. Most programs require a 3.0 GPA, and some require two years of college-level language preparation. Interested students should contact the EAP office at their campus of interest for further information and application procedures.
Transfer Students Say...
“As a transfer student, I can wholeheartedly say that participating in EAP was one of the best academic and professional decisions I could have made. One month after my return from England — where I studied English literature and communications — I was able to find work as a journalist for a daily newspaper. My employer was impressed with my versatility and willingness to take on the challenges associated with living and studying in a foreign country.”
