Community College Summer Programs

Community College Summer Programs promote transfer awareness for selected participants through tailored programming and unique opportunities in efforts to increase knowledge of transfer pathways, tools for transfer success, financial aid literacy, and cultivating community and support for the many stages of transfer.


Transfer Prep Summer Academy (TPSA)


The Transfer Prep Summer Academy (TPSA) is a residential program that invites today’s community college students to immerse themselves in the vibrant residential life at UC Irvine while participating in a 3-unit course from their home campus.​

Through a blend of interactive activities and networking opportunities, students explore campus resources, connect with like-minded students, and gain valuable insights into the transition to a large research institution.

Currently, TPSA is in partnership with the following California Community Colleges

  • Santa Ana College
  • Santiago Canyon College
  • Saddleback College
  • Fullerton College
  • Cypress College
  • Rio Hondo College
