All Transfer Edge students are invited and encouraged to enroll in Transfer Connect, a one-unit course that will help you build community and confidence as you begin your time at UC Berkeley. Transfer Connect is a version of the popular Berkeley Connect mentoring program specially designed just for Transfer Edge students.
Through Transfer Connect, you will be matched with a UC Berkeley graduate student who will be your mentor for the summer and placed in a small group of transfer student peers who will meet weekly for discussions facilitated by your mentor. Through one-on-one and group mentoring, you will start to build your support network and chart your path at Berkeley. Students report that Transfer Connect mentoring helped them connect with other students and with professors, increased their understanding of the research university as well as their awareness of resources available on campus, and boosted their sense of belonging at UC Berkeley.
To sign up for Transfer Connect, log in to CalCentral and enroll in any section of English 198BC during Summer Session D (be aware that two sections of Transfer Connect will be conducted remotely). For questions about Transfer Connect, email berkeleyconnect@berkeley.edu.
