National Transfer Student Week
What is National Transfer Student Week (NTSW)?
The National Institute for the Study of Transfer Students organizes National Transfer Student Week (NTSW) annually on every third week of October to celebrate transfer students and those that support them through their academic journey1.
At UC San Diego, we love our Triton Transfers! Our transfer students make up about 33% of the undergraduate population and are a valued part of our campus community. We want to celebrate and support the diversity of the transfer student experience. We hope that you join in on this celebration!

Defining and Building Community for Transfer Students 
Hosted by Center for Student Involvement
This interactive workshop will explore “community” through dialogue. Being a part of a community—oftentimes referred to a feeling of belonging—impacts the student experience. This dialogue will focus on transfer students and the transfer student experience. All current and prospective students, and UC San Diego staff, and faculty are invited to dialogue, chat, and explore “what is community, how is community defined, and what is my responsibility to co-creating community?” The dialogue will be most impactful with a broad population of participants, including non-transfer students. By participating in dialogue, we can create transformative change for a more inclusive and empowering University for all.
