What is Transfer Weekend?

​Transfer Weekend is an all-expenses-paid overnight program for Community College Transfers
who have been admitted to UC Berkeley for the following academic year. Students are selected to
travel for FREE to UC Berkeley during Cal Day weekend and experience the campus
+ the bay area, as well as receive free lodging from MRRC and bridges community.

By participating in MRRC’s Transfer Weekend, students are introduced to our
mixed community and are presented with a collection of campus resources aimed to
help them grow academically, professionally and personally! There are various informative
and entertaining activities which help them gain insight into  college life at UC Berkeley.
Some of these include: critical discussions on Mixed identity, workshops on academic advising and
financial resources, an all-access campus tour, a fun night exploring San Francisco, and much more!

Overall, this weekend helps build students' confidence in their transition to college by creating community among their fellow Transfer Weekend peers. Students will get an inside look on what it is like to build communities and relationships as Cal students before they decide on transferring to UC Berkeley.
