SUBJECT:  The UCSD Office Of Admissions And Relations With Schools Hosts
                     Transfer Admit Day For Newly Admitted Transfer Students

The purpose of Transfer Admit Day is to help transfer students make their final college decision for fall 2002. The event, hosted by UCSD's Office of Admissions and Relations with Schools, is an opportunity to discover campus life through academic department presentations, workshops, a transfer student panel, a student services information fair, and campus tours. Parking is free in specified lots.

Transfer students will receive an agenda packet and begin the day with refreshments at 7:45 a.m. A welcome address at 8:30 a.m. will include an introduction to UCSD's college system. Workshops will cover a wide range of popular interests to prepare students for life at UCSD, including career planning and graduate school services, commuter student issues, financial aid, campus academic support services, and more. Current transfer students will share their "transition to university life" experiences on a student panel. Academic department representatives will also be available to provide information on majors, academic expectations and a number of academic opportunities. Visitors can meet with representatives from various campus support services at an Information Fair. Student-led campus tours will provide a closer look at facilities and highlights of the campus.

Transfer Admit Day provides transfer students with an opportunity to get an inside look at the campus and the many services awaiting them at UCSD. All members of the campus are encouraged to help welcome these students to UCSD on May 10.
