Transfer Students

Congratulations Transfer Students on your admission to the East Asian Studies Department!

Entering UC Davis half way through your academic career, you will begin focusing on the overall design of your degree. This means you will be focusing on courses that are of specific interest to you. Course recommendations can be made based on professional pathways, double majors, technical backgrounds, or even in preparation for graduate or doctoral studies.

TO GET STARTED, HERE ARE YOUR STEPS TO SUCCESS:

Once you have complete Aggie 101, Aggie Advising Canvas Program, and you have attended a "Preparing for Pass 1 Webinar" Hosted by Orientation, you are ready for the EHE Advising Stage of your Summer Roadmap!

Step 4: Meet with an Advisor (Transfer Students only)

The Economics, History, and East Asian Studies Advisors would be more than happy to meet with you. 

This is your opportunity to speak with your academic advisor one-on-one and ask specific questions about your academic record, discuss goals, and plan your schedule for fall quarter and beyond (for transfer students only).

RECOMMENDATIONS:

  • Review your CANVAS Pages for Recommended First Quarter Courses
  • Take a look at a 2 Year Sample Academic Plan
  • Find 2-3 non-major courses that you would be interested in taking in Fall Quarter alongside your 1-2 East Asian Studies major courses.
  • Click on this diagram to help you identify courses of interest outside of your major.
  • Remember to check prerequisites to make sure you’re eligible for the courses you are interested in.
  • Review the resources for new students from the College of Letters and Science. Our Advising Center will assist you with your major requirements and the College will assist you with your general education and college/university requirements. Throughout your career at UC Davis, you will work with both of these offices for academic advising.  We always encourage you to check in with the College of Letters and Science Undergraduate Education and Advising Office regarding requirements outside of the major: https://lettersandscience.ucdavis.edu/advising.
