Transfer Tips
- The ISP office regularly hosts admissions representatives from a variety of CSU, UC, private and out-of-state universities. These representatives come to our office for one-on-one advising sessions with F-1 visa students attending De Anza.
- You can also check the website for De Anza's Transfer Center to learn about resources and university visits for the general population.
- Looking for TAP or TAG information? Download the presentation on the UC TAP and TAG programs prepared by De Anza's ISP staff.
Students who aren't in ISP can visit the general Counseling and Advising Center or
a counselor within their division or program.
