What happens at Transfer Day?
Transfer Day is an event exclusively for prospective transfer students so you can learn more about the campus, the transfer process, transfer-specific resources, and life at UC Riverside. If you are unsure about your major, Transfer Day is a great opportunity to explore your options. We have presentations from faculty, staff and students, campus tours, housing tours, a student services and organization fair, a free lunch, and much more planned.
HOW IS TRANSFER DAY DIFFERENT FROM HIGHLANDER DAY?

Transfer Day is exclusively for prospective transfer students, with all sessions dedicated to the transfer experience.

Highlander Day is for freshmen and transfer students who have been admitted to UC Riverside for the upcoming Fall term, is focused almost exclusively on academic programs, and is largely led by the colleges so you can explore the majors you have been admitted to.

CAN I REGISTER A GROUP TO ATTEND HIGHLANDER DAY?

We do not offer any special programming for groups. You will need each student to register individually.

WHERE CAN A BUS DROP OFF AND PARK?

Bus drop off is located by Amy S. Harrison Softball Field on Canyon Crest Drive. Please be aware that there is NO bus parking on campus. Buses must drop off and park off campus.
