BCOE Transfer Transition Program

Welcome to UCR and the College of Engineering! 

We understand it can be challenging and overwhelming to adjust to a new school environment.  The Transfer Transition Program in the Bourns College of Engineering (BCOE) is a year-long program exclusively designed to support you successfully move from a community college to UC Riverside. 

As a participant in the Transfer Transition Program you have opportunities to:

  • Learn how to access and use resources to facilitate academic success.  Workshops to help you refine your time management skills and study techniques are available.
  • Work closely with a faculty member in your program to receive mentoring and professional guidance.
  • Meet with your academic advisor on a quarterly basis to develop a personalized course schedule.
  • Work with the Career Center or Student Life to discuss co-curricular opportunities. 
  • Get involved in Engineering clubs, professional organizations, and peer mentoring.

We believe these opportunities will help you successfully navigate your first year at UC Riverside. For further information and details about this program, please contact your academic advisor.
