Students invited to attend the Transfer Interview Day may register online to let Cal Lutheran know they would like to attend an interview. There will be a limited number of virtual interview options for students who are not local and/or not able to attend on the selected interview date. Space is limited for this program and all available spaces may fill very quickly once registration opens.

Attire:

Students are encouraged to wear professional attire that will give you confidence as you complete your interview.  

The Interview:

The interview is an effort to get to know each student better. The interviewers will not be asking questions designed to mislead or confuse students. Questions are likely to revolve around activities and interests; books, journals, or articles read outside of the classroom; current events happening in the world today; and an inspirational person.

The interview will take place in person, and you will be emailed more details about the day once you register for the event. Should any questions arise once you receive the agenda, please feel free to email us at transfer@callutheran.edu or call The Office of Undergraduate Admission at (805) 493-3135.
