IMPORTANT DATES & INFORMATION

The Academic Transition Program begins September 2008 and ends June 2009; however, support via telephone, email, and/or in-person contacts actually begin during summer 2008 when OASIS Resource Counselors contact all OASIS Transition Program (OTP) students to address questions and concerns freshmen may have before entering the university in the fall.

It is highly recommended that students apply and attend OASIS’ Summer Bridge (4-week, residential) program or TRiO Student Support Services (1-week, non-residential) summer programs. If students cannot commit to these summer programs, then they may be considered for acceptance to ATP. (Summer Bridge can accommodate 150 students, whereas ATP can only accommodate 30 students.)

Important to note:

• All SB students become ATP students after the four-week, residential summer program ends in August.

Helpful items to take care of ASAP to help facilitate your transition and enrollment process this summer:

• Make sure to sign up and attend your college orientation. The sooner, the better.
   
• IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENTS: Take care of all immunization requirements and send in verifying documents to UCSD Office of Admissions & Relations with Schools by August 1, 2008. Please be advised that you will NOT be able to register for Fall Quarter 2008 classes unless you have met all of the UCSD Immunization Requirements.
   
• If you have not yet satisfied the Entry Level Writing Requirement (Subject A), please visit http://basicwriting.ucsd.edu for more information. This requirement can also be satisfied by taking an approved summer school class at a community college.
   
• If you plan on taking any math or science courses, please visit http://mathtesting.ucsd.edu/ for more information. You must have some type of Math Placement test results in order to enroll in any UCSD math course and some science classes.
   
• TRANSCRIPTS: Please be sure that your final high school and/or community college transcripts are received by UCSD by the July 15th deadline! The transcripts should be sent to::
  
  UCSD Office of Admissions & Relations With Schools
  9500 Gilman Drive, 0021A
  La Jolla, CA 92093 – 0021A
  
  The final validation process of transcripts confirms that all freshman admissions provisions have been cleared. If you have received a grade lower than a "C", in any A-G coursework during grade 12, or your weighted GPA for A-G coursework in grade 12 is below a 3.0, you must provide a written explanation as soon as possible to the Office of Admissions and Relation With Schools.
  
  PLEASE DO NOT SEND TRANSCRIPTS TO OASIS!
   
• Make sure that UCSD’s Office of Admissions & Relations with Schools receives your Advanced Placement exam scores.
  
• Begin to check your UCSD email accounts. This is the official mode of communication at UCSD. http://www-no.ucsd.edu/student.html
