The UCLA Bruin Transfer Program supports a vibrant community of transfer students, making up one-third of the undergraduate population. These students come from diverse socio-economic backgrounds, including many first-generation college students and veterans. This program offers individual consultations, cohort groups, and valuable resources to help ease the transition, build confidence, and avoid "transfer shock". By utilizing campus resources and getting involved, transfer students can proudly embrace their journey and successfully achieve their academic goals at UCLA.
