    Welcome to the University of San Diego Application Manager! Follow the instructions below to access your Torero Status Portal or begin a transfer application.

    Understanding your Student Type: First Year or Transfer

    You are considered a first-year student if you are currently in high school or have graduated from high school and have not enrolled in college courses after graduation (summer classes immediately following high school graduation do not count). First-year students apply using the Common Application.

    You are considered a transfer student if you have graduated from high school (or earned a GED/high school equivalency) and have enrolled in college courses after graduation. Transfer Students apply using the USD Transfer Application, accessible below.

    First Year Applicants

    If you submitted your Common Application to USD at least 24 hours ago, you're in the right place! See your email for login credentials.

    Under "Your Applications" below, click the "First Year" link below to enter your Torero Status Portal. There, you can track your application status, review your checklist and receive important updates from USD.

    Important: Do not click the blue "Start New Application" button; it will create a duplicate application.

    Transfer Applicants

    To begin a transfer application, click either "Log in" or "Create an account." If creating a new account, check your email for account activation instructions. Once you have activated your account and are logged in, click the blue "Start New Application" button.

    If you've already started or submitted an application, click "Log in." Once you are logged in, click the "Transfer" link under "Your Applications" to return to your in-progress application or enter your Torero Status Portal if you've submitted your application.

    When completing an application, click "Continue" at the bottom of each page to save your progress.
