Transfer Challenge

On pause for Fall 2020.

UC San Diego is a big place, and as a transfer student, you only have a couple of years to get to know campus resources, faculty, staff, and fellow students. The six undergraduate Colleges have your back!  We created the Transfer Challenge to help first-year transfer students navigate important campus resources. Participate in fun weekly challenges - attend events, try new things - and as a bonus earn points for your efforts and redeem them for prizes.
