New transfer students will attend a summer advising and registration event, or meet with an advisor 1-on-1 to register for classes.

Step 2: Complete the Academic Interest Survey (AIS) 

Survey link sent to your email after you have completed the required deposit for Admissions. 
 

• Purpose: Provides your academic advisors with more information about your educational and career goals as well as your past educational history. This allows you to register for courses that align with your interests and goals!
• What you need to do: Complete the Academic Interest Survey (this should take less than 30 minutes).
• Outcome: Completing the AIS gets you one step closer to being able to schedule your Advising & Registration meeting
  • The AIS may prompt you to complete the World Language Placement Assessment and/or Math Placement Assessment (check your student email for directions after you complete the AIS). Please complete the assessments when you receive the instructions.
• Support: Please contact advisingcenter@pacificu.edu if you have any questions or would like to take the language or math placements even if not prompted by the AIS.
   

Step 3: Send final transcripts (from all previous colleges*) and test scores.

*If you have earned less than 45 quarter credits (or less than 30 semester credits), please also send us your high school transcript. We need transcripts with FINAL GRADES through your most recent college quarter/semester to begin advising and registration. If we do not have these on file, you will not be able to register for classes. 

• Purpose: To have all your previously earned credits submitted to Pacific and applied to your overall degree.
• What you need to do:
  • Transcripts: Connect with previous college/university to have them send official transcripts to Pacific directly.
    • Visit the website of the school to look for directions on how to send an official transcript
    • Pacific’s preferred method: Send electronically to admissions@pacificu.edu
    • or if mail is your only option:

  • Send AP or IB Score Reports, if applicable:
    • Check for confirmation emails after requesting the transcripts and/or score reports.
• Outcome: Once Pacific receives and evaluates your transcripts and/or score reports, your credits will show on BoxerOnline. You will review your Transfer Summary during Advising & Registration.
• Support: Please contact advisingcenter@pacificu.edu if you have any questions or concerns. 
   

Once you have completed steps 1-3:

Step 4: Wait for an invitation email to schedule your Advising and Registration meeting! 

Transfer advising and registration can start once we receive your transcripts and they are evaluated by our Registrar’s Office. Virtual and in-person appointments are available and are scheduled for a full hour. You have the choice of joining a scheduled Advising and Registration event or scheduling a convenient time directly with your summer advisor. Depending on the preference you indicated on the Academic Interest Survey, you will receive an invitation to register for an event day or an advising team member will email you directly to schedule an Advising and Registration appointment.
 

Step 5: Prepare for and Attend your Advising and Registration Meeting 

At this meeting, we'll go over your transfer credits, graduation requirements and timeline, and register for fall semester classes. 

Please do not worry about class availability if you see closed or waitlisted classes. Pacific prides itself on working with our transfer students to stay on-track and continue moving forward in their programs.
