University Transfer Center

Receiving a denial letter can be stressful; however, understanding the process and knowing what to do will help you with the next steps. 

Students have a 15-business-day grace period from the date the letter was dated, so follow these steps right away, and contact the University Transfer Center for assistance.

If you were denied admission, follow these steps:

• Students have 15 business days from the date the letter is dated
• Students need to complete the denial petition form
• Schedule an appointment to meet with a counselor and review why they were denied
• Student will need to write a statement to the campus to be reconsidered (after meeting with a counselor)
• Above documents need to be mailed with official transcript included

It is advisable to mail all documents Priority Mail with Confirmation to ensure your petition is received before the deadline. The mailing confirmation will also be helpful if you need to trace the envelope.

• Please remember to check the University portals for information, communication, and deadlines - orientation, admission decision, etc.
• Orientations: Many Universities will be hosting VIRTUAL orientations, so it is important to check your portal for time sensitive information.
• Deadlines: Please remember Admission Decision deadlines are still scheduled, so follow all instructions and deadlines to avoid your application from being withdrawn.
• Final transcripts will need to be submitted to the University after final grades have been posted in July; you can do it through your student portal.

As you transfer from Oxnard College to a CSU, UC, out-of-state, or private institution, you will need to determine your area of interest and the program that aligns with your major. Universities offer different programs, so researching your options before applying will help you tailor your transfer pathway.
