This page provides guidance for students applying to external institutions or programs, particularly through the Common Application.
Official transcripts contain the information needed for the Common Application, Coalition for College/SCOIR, College Report forms, or any other student transfer report.
As of July 17, 2023, the UCSB Office of the Registrar no longer prepares any student transfer report, as the UCSB official transcript contains the information requested.
A UCSB Transfer Letter (PDF) confirms this policy. Students may send this letter to the institution(s) of their choice.
If the receiving institution requests that the UCSB Transfer Letter be sent directly from UCSB, please order an official transcript via GOLD and include the UCSB Transfer Letter as an attachment.
The UCSB Office of the Registrar cannot email the UCSB Transfer Letter to institutions on your behalf.
Contact the UCSB Office of Student Conduct
