Attending such workshops can indeed be beneficial.

They'll probably start with an overview of the application process, important deadlines to be aware of, and requirements for being admitted into the UC system, given that you asked particularly about UC transfers.

These workshops usually assist with understanding the articulation agreements between your community college and the UC system.

Comparing your experiences with your peers who also attended these workshops contributes to the learning process. Don't hesitate to ask your questions during such workshops. Besides, interacting with individuals who are navigating the same process as you can also provide a meaningful support network.

Also, keep in mind that these workshops typically maximize long-term planning, so the earlier you go, the more you'll benefit. Although they can provide useful insights even if you plan to transfer within the same academic year. Ultimately, making the most of such resources can only benefit you on your journey towards transferring.
