Puente! Transfer Student Summer Program

The Puente! Transfer Student Summer Program is a 3-day summer program for transfer students who have been admitted to CSUB for the fall 2025 term. The program blends interactive academic and social sessions to foster confidence and a sense of belonging in participants, as well as connect transfer students to others in similar academic areas.
 

Academic preparation will focus on upper division writing skills. The sessions will be offered in-person with no grades assigned. There will be an opportunity for students who complete the program to earn 3 units by taking the English 3109 challenge exam free of cost.
