There is no administrative fee charged for transferring courses.
How to transfer as a self-paying student
Most students can process their transfer request directly through the Student Portal.
- Log in and select My Enrollment History.
- Find the course you wish to transfer out of and select "request transfer."
- Follow the prompts to select your new course and complete the request.
When to email your transfer request
In a few situations, you will need to email your request instead of using the online portal. This ensures your transfer is processed correctly. Please email your transfer request to the Enrollment Office (enroll@uclaextension.edu) if:
- A 3rd party (WIOA students, Veterans, or employer) submitted the payment for your original enrollment.
- You applied a discount when enrolling into the original course.
- You are trying to transfer into a waitlisted course after receiving an invitation to enroll.
International Students on an F-1 visa
International students on an F-1 visa can self-transfer by following the instructions above. However, you must maintain in-person unit requirements as mandated by the U.S. federal government.
