CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE NEW BRUINS! 8-CLAP!
Appeal if you have compelling new evidence since TAU.
CHECK YOUR ADMISSION CONTRACT CAREFULLY! You must meet all the conditions for your acceptance to go through.
If for some reason you aren’t able to meet the contract after Spring grades, figure out how you might fix (a summer class?), contact Admissions and admit to your inability to meet the criteria, mention your plan and ask for further direction. For example, if you need to add/make up a class during the summer, register for the class, send in the proof of the receipt and they will create a new contract for you. They are strict but I have seen some still being accepted after not being able to get Bs instead of Cs. Some have had to make up a course during the summer.
Summer courses: you are allowed to take summer courses. Take one, maybe two in two sessions at UCLA if you have the time. A 10 week class is compressed into 6 weeks. You can still take CCC courses too if you need to. Also check the other UCs if you live near one, and whether that course will transfer.
Transfer Bruin Day: Attend and meet each other! You might find a potential roommate (you may need to exchange SIDs) or study partners in your major. http://bruinday.ucla.edu/ Meet your fellow CC’ers. Some places to meet: Rendezvous Cafe on the hill, Student Union food court; You can take the tour and walk around with your new friends even if they are in different groups. No apartment tours available.
Want to change majors or double major? Possible but it all depends on the one you’re changing/adding to. Try making an appointment with an advisor, but they may still not want to see a potential student until the Fall. You will need to take a copy of your unofficial transcripts.

Directions to “SIR” – https://www.admission.ucla.edu/newbruins/sir.htm
Transcript deadlines – note, send them in at least twice.
By June 1st through Fall grades.
By July 1st through Spring grades.
If you attend summer classes, make sure you send in transcripts as soon as you receive your grades.
If you completed IGETC, make sure your CCC sends the certification in. Each CCC processes this differently.
MAKE SURE THEY RECEIVE THE TRANSCRIPTS before those dates. There have been a couple of CC’ers whose admission was rescinded because transcripts weren’t received. Seriously.
Transfer student orientations are full day in person events scheduled starting July (there were about 6 sessions offered). Try to sign up for the earliest time slot at the opening of the sign up period. Plan on taking a tablet or laptop to use to sign up for classes that evening. You will be there through at least 7pm. https://www.admission.ucla.edu/NewBruins/Orientation_Transfer.htm Take a copy of your unofficial transcripts with you. Yes you can sign up for 3 major classes but if you are at all concerned about the quarter system or you work, etc, start with 2 major classes and an elective.
What is a DAR? A DAR is a Degree Audit Report found in your myUCLA, which is a record of all your classes taken, at all CCs and will contain your future UCLA classes too. This report will show how each class you take, meets your major’s and college’s requirements. This will be ready just before your transfer orientation date.
