Life After Admission: What to do and how to prep for an optimal fall 2016 transfer

Fiiiiiinally received my financial aid for summer session. I was starting to worry that I would be registering the day before class starts! We have two options for our transfer edge class, right? The computer science class and the social science research class?

@E2DuhJ What’s the name of that facebook page?

@Lamorra hey, in the facebook search, type “UCI Housing” and some housing groups should show up. let me know if you still have trouble finding it.

How do we enroll in the transfer edge seminar? It doesn’t show up in the class list.

@atlashoney Try this link https://summer.uci.edu/programs/transfer/enrollment/

Does UCI offer the ability to test out of certain intro classes? Like ICS 6B: Boolean Logic? I see that they have a test for physics/writing/language but not for major specific classes.

how long do i have to stay SIR’d to more than 1 uc? Haven’t received my aid yet for another uc so i want to play it safe.

@ssm24k My friend has been going to UCSD for like 3 or so years now. He SIR’d for UCSB before getting accepted and never followed up on dropping it so… you have quite a while.

I have a question. When is the last day to sign up for financial aid for SS2? Because I have no idea what to take yet…

Hi guys! Is there a Facebook group for UCI Fall 2016 admitted transfers?

Is anyone else housing in arroyo vista over the summer?

I made a group since there wasn’t one. It’s an official UCI group so you need a UCI email to join it.
The group is called “UC Irvine Fall 2016 Transfer Students” not sure that link will work.

If you guys PM me your UCI email I’ll add you and make you admins

@fuzzypants

I will be! Honestly a bit nervous, never shared a bedroom before. Hopefully we all get respectful roommates. :slight_smile:

does anyone know when we will get our uci student id cards?

@E2DuhJ I just assumed that we would get them after school starts in the fall.

@atlashoney Thanks for the response! I called admssions and they told me we get them issued to us at the transfer orientation (If you plan on attending it since it’s not mandatory). If you’re not planning on attending transfer orientation then we can get them at the bookstore once fall quarter starts (first one is free) :smiley:

Does anyone know when we will have our academic advising?

they’ll email you this month, appointments are in july

@E2DuhJ Oh that’s awesome! I’m so excited!

And I got an email today to schedule my academic advising.
