Transfer Orientation

Welcome Slugs! 

We’re so excited to be able to help you navigate the MCD Biology majors so that you can plan your time at UCSC and graduate in two years! 

Be sure to check your UCSC email regularly from mcdadvising@ucsc.edu where we will be sending information over the summer.

An introduction to the Molecular, Cell and Developmental (MCD) Biology modules will be sent to you in summer. These modules will cover all the information you need prior to enrolling for your first quarter as well as tips on how to thrive as a Biology BS, MCD Biology BS, or Neuroscience BS major. *Please note that the MCD modules do not replace SLUG Orientation, but provide additional support for our majors!*

We will also send specific course recommendations before your enrollment appointment, so no need to stress! Note that we are saving space for transfer students in specific courses that will only be available on your enrollment dates.

Welcome to UCSC and we look forward to meeting you in the fall!
