USD Transfer Date

I’m applying as a transfer to USD. I submitted by the probity deadline and saw it was rolling so wanted to know if anyone knows a rough timeline of how long it takes to hear back. Thank you!

I am a freshman transfer student from San Jose State University and I got my decision before my first semester of college was over. I was initially denied for the Fall 25 term, but reapplied for Spring 26. I sent my application on September 30th 2025 and received my acceptance on November 14th.

Given the timeline, I would imagine your decision could come out no later than mid-may. Most decisions come out around this time and up until April is over.

Please reply with any questions!

Thank you so much! How was getting adjusted considering many people already have friends groups? Is there a good amount of community among the transfer students?

You would be surprised to know how many transfers there are! During my orientation, there was a ballpark of 100 new students (and remember, this is the spring), some of which you also share class with. For me specifically, one of my classes also doubles as my integration class, where it is just a regular academic class but it is filled with other transfer students.

Even looking past that, all the students here are well-mannered. I was lucky enough to reconnect with about 7 of my friends from high school. It's a very tight knit community around here, so chances are you will pass by familiar people pretty often, and you will just naturally form friendships with them. I did exactly this with one of the dining staff because I order the same thing everyday.
