STEP into 2023

UC San Diego welcomes our new first-year transfer students to STEP into 2023!

The Summer Transfer Enrichment Program (STEP) prepares incoming Triton Transfers for their first quarter and beyond. This summer transition program is designed exclusively for incoming transfer students by providing a variety ways they can connect with information, resources, and each other, all before stepping onto campus for the first time in September. 

STEP into 2023 enables you as an incoming transfer student to build your own success story. Because we are aware that transfer students come in with a variety of needs, this program is set up with your individuality in mind. Although we hope to see you at every opportunity, you can participate in any - or all - steps along the way. Choose the steps and topics which meet your needs and interests.
