Transfer Students at SF State

As a campus, we recognize that a “one-size-fits-all” model does not apply to your higher education experience. The paths that you follow to SF State are challenging, rich and rewarding. We appreciate and value our transfer students and their commitment to transformative change in their communities, including SFSU.

Spotlight on Transfers

“I’ve loved the people, the community, and the college that I belong to and I honestly wouldn’t feel at home anywhere else.” (2019 Transfer Student Survey respondent)
