Application Requirements

Here’s what you need to do:

Complete the Common App and Oxy transfer supplement.*

*$60 non-refundable application fee or fee waiver required.

And make sure we have the following required documents:

  • an official copy of your final high school transcript or copy of your GED certificate
  • official college or university transcripts from all institutions you have attended
  • the College Official's Report (available on the Common App)
  • a letter of recommendation from a college instructor of your choice
  • a writing sample from a college course (with grade and commentary if possible)
  • SAT or ACT scores (if you graduated from high school in the last five years)
     

Re-applying to Occidental

Although we keep past applications for three years, when applying as a transfer student, you must submit a new Common Application and transfer supplement (as well as a new payment) to be considered for admission each term. Be sure to also submit updated college transcripts and new letters of recommendation.

International Transfer Applicants

Please be aware of some additional steps and forms you must complete as a international transfer applicant.
