Join Transfer Ambassadors here
Are you a new transfer student and have some questions? Transfer Student Ambassadors are here to assist and provide insight to our campus.
As a transfer student, you are a valued part of our community as you join many other students like you who are committed to pursuing their educational goals. We recognize that transfers have different needs than first-year students, and we are here to make your adjustment and transition into our community as smooth as possible.
Here are some of the Transfer Student Programs at Cal State East Bay:
Smooth Transitions
Smooth Transitions provides the support needed to transition transfer students to the university with a great sense of connection, engagement, and involvement with the East Bay community through academic-related and co-curricular activities.
Transfer Academy
Transfer Academy is an opportunity for incoming transfer students at Cal State East Bay to learn more about the transition to the University in a supportive cohort environment prior to the first fall semester. Students commit to five days at the Hayward Campus to become familiar with available resources and develop a deeper knowledge to assist them in their transition.
Transfer Connections
Transfer Connections pairs incoming transfer students from Cal State East Bay's top four feeder community colleges with Transfer Ambassadors who previously transferred from their same institution.
Having experienced the transfer experience firsthand, Transfer Ambassadors draw from their own experiences and available campus resources to create memorable experiences for incoming and first-year transfer students.
Tau Sigma National Honor Society
Tau Sigma is a national academic society for transfer students who achieve a 3.5 or higher GPA during their 12 units at Cal State East Bay. The Eta Epsilon chapter of Tau Sigma was established in 2016 to recognize outstanding students who transfer to the university each year.
