UC Berkeley Transfer Thread 2018

Does anyone know whether newly admitted transfer students can register for a summer course?
And when can newly admitted transfer students register for Fall 2018 courses? after orientation on 08/14?

Yes they can. ^^^

Anyone else’s CalCentral not showing the MyAcademics tab anymore? I recently emailed them to update my status from a summer session student to an undergraduate junior student so I think this may be why my portal is acting weird.

I think calCentral is updating some stuff. I have seen my tabs disappearing before and I freaked out thinking I’ve been rescinded for some reason :stuck_out_tongue: Everything got restored in a couple of hours when that happened to me.

What I don’t seem to find is my AC card link at card1card.berkeley.edu I know I’m supposed to accept the card, but it’s not showing up in my account. Not sure if this is related to the fact that I haven’t applied for housing (I’m going to be living off-campus).

hi fellow bears. my portal is looking wonky. are they still updating stuff? I’m only asking because I withdrew my SIR from UCLA yesterday to accept my cal offer and I wanted to make sure it wasn’t just me. :slight_smile:

Is anyone else a finalist for The Achievement Award Program (TAAP) and/or the Kruttschnitt Aspire Scholarship Program (KASP)? I got an email today and I was wondering how many people actually pass the interview round and get the scholarship. Thanks

Same here. Any general info would be appreciated!

now I’m torn I was set on ucla, but the scholarship is too good of a deal to pass up

I have a question about the Statement of Legal Residency form that we have to submit - when I click to view the questions, all it says is that I have only completed Introductory Questions (part 1)…all the other options say that they’re not started. However, I can’t find anywhere on the screen to submit the questions. The option to view the questions is grayed out as well, unlike the completed Introductory Questions (part 1). Can anyone help me out?

I just heard I am officially a regent scholar! Did anyone else hear about this?

@lifeissoobtuse I was hoping that I would get Regents (I got it at UCSC) but nope ):

For those dropping UCLA. Is cal offering scholarships? It seems like UCLA is so hot right now nationally.

@lifeissoobtuse how do you know? congratulations :slight_smile:

@tondiafra i got an email that said that there was a status update in my portal, and I was like “shwaaaa???” I thought they were gonna rescind my offer or something because I had no idea what else they would need to tell me that was important enough to send an actual Status Update™.
But anyway it looked just like the original page when the decisions had come in, it said I had a status update, then when I clicked it and it was just a lil letter telling me I was a regent chancellor scholar.

anyway, I’m stoked.

@lifeissoobtuse wooohoooo! Well done! It is so exciting to watch these threads in anticipation… I am applying in the coming fall!

@RainbowBritey best of luck to you!

I read on the Berkeley Transfer Class of 2020 Facebook Page that someone called and found out that Regents’ and Chancellor’s Scholarship decisions for transfer students will be released sometime this week. Does anyone know more about this? I’m worried seeing how some people have already found out last week.

Since I have a 4.0, and received Regents at Davis and UCLA, I’m holding on to every little hope that I will get it at Cal because Cal is my dream school and now that I’ve gotten in I really want to go, but unfortunately I can’t afford because they aren’t giving me enough financial aid.

@2016haha Did they send you any updates? I got a message from them as well and filled out the survey, but they haven’t gotten back to me with a confirmation.

@yubagirl50 What school are you coming from? Also what were your ECs etc?

Hey guys Im trying to do the housing app (last minute I know) but it only shows the summer session and not the academic year. help!
