在Oxy的生活
What classes should I take to be a competitive applicant?
We encourage students to take classes that most closely align with Oxy's 核心需求. Students who will enroll at Oxy with junior standing (64 units of credit) should look at 个人主要 需求—especially foundational courses—for suggested course selection.
What is the maximum number of units I can transfer to Oxy?
Students can transfer a maximum of 64 semester units or 96 quarter units of credit. The Registrar's Office will issue a credit evaluation after a student has been admitted to the College.
Are there any majors that cannot be transferred into or are more particular about 需求?
We expect incoming juniors to arrive at Oxy having already completed classes in their intended major. Those students interested in Economics are expected to have completed coursework in calculus, 微观经济学, 和宏观经济学. We encourage interested students to look at department homepages and the Oxy 课程目录 for detailed information about 个人主要 需求. Given the course sequencing and demands of the Music major, students interested in pursuing a Music major must complete 3 full years of coursework at Occidental.
What type of classes are and are not transferable to Oxy?
Oxy will award course credit to college level classes taken at an accredited college. Remedial level classes in math and English are not considered college level, 因此不会被授予课程学分. Being awarded course credit may not always translate to credit towards an 个人主要 or Core requirement. Our Registrar's Office and individual departments decide on a case-by-case basis whether a class will fulfill a specific major or Core requirement.
每年有多少转校生入读奥克西?
We typically enroll 5-10 transfers for spring admission and 30-40 transfers for fall admission. Transfers make up approximately 8% of the overall student enrollment.

是的. 转学生有资格申请 经济援助和优秀奖学金. 我们满足了100%的需求. Submission of the FAFSA and CSS Profile are required to be considered for need-based aid. 截止日期因申请状态而异.
When will students be notified of their admission decision?
Students applying for spring admission are notified in mid-December. Notification for students that have applied for fall admission begins in early May and continues through early June.
你们接受非传统的转学生吗?
是的. We welcome students with a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences. Our academic requirement section provides detailed information about the eligibility for admission. Students who have not attended school in the last two years are encouraged to enroll in full-time classes before applying to Occidental. Please note that the College does not offer married student or family housing. Students who have preschool-aged children are also encouraged to look into options at our 儿童发展中心.
Oxy is a residential college that supports an integrated living and learning environment. The intellectual community of the institution extends to every residence hall on campus. 为此目的, we have adopted a policy requiring all students to live on campus for their first three years. Exceptions to this requirement are granted on a case-by-case basis. Transfer students may petition for a housing waiver by contacting 住宿教育及房屋服务. Students with senior standing are exempt from the housing policy, 并且可以选择住在校内或校外.
转学申请者需要面试吗?
No. 不需要面试, but transfer applicants are encouraged to interview if they are interested in sharing their story or learning more about Occidental. Please review our interview tips and learn more about the opportunities to 报名参加面试.
