Realis Education 睿理留学 — Community College to UC Transfer Consulting

Who We Are

A focused consultancy for one proven pathway.

Realis Education helps families in China plan the California community college → UC transfer route. It is the pathway written into California's public higher-education system — yet one that families abroad often never hear about. We promote it accurately and enthusiastically, and we stay with each student from the first planning conversation through transfer.

We do one thing. We don't sell language training, boarding-school placement, or direct-admission packages — our advice isn't shaped by what else we could sell you. Our team lives and works next to the colleges we serve, so support doesn't end at enrollment: it begins there.

What We Do

With the student at every stage.

Pre-arrival

Program selection, F-1 application and visa guidance, and housing placement — settled before the student leaves home.

Arrival & daily life

Airport pickup, banking and phone setup, orientation, managed housing, and a 24/7 emergency line for students and parents.

Academic planning

Semester-by-semester course plans aligned to ASSIST articulation, GPA monitoring, and monthly progress reports to the family.

Transfer

TAG / TAP strategy and UC application coaching — guidance only; every essay and every word is the student's own.

Because our team lives here, students are supported after they enroll — and well-supported students persist, succeed, and transfer. That is what families hire us for, and what colleges see in the students we send.

Our Commitments

How we work — in writing.

No guaranteed-admission claims. TAG is described strictly per UC's published terms — nothing more.

Transparent fees to families; no hidden charges, ever.

Accurate representation: every statistic we publish is verified against official sources before release.

Application integrity: essays and applications are the student's own work — zero ghost-writing or AI substitution.

Your rules, followed: we complete institutional vetting and abide by each college's or district's code of conduct.

Practices aligned with NACAC and AIRC principles of ethical international recruitment.

Colleges & Partners

For community colleges, schools, and institutions.

Community college international programs: we recruit in China on your behalf — honestly and at no cost to you — and support the students we refer through enrollment, so they persist and transfer. We're glad to visit your office, complete any vetting process, and put our practices in writing.

Schools and education companies in China: we partner with international high schools, test-prep and admissions consultancies on talks, referrals, and co-hosted programs. 我们与国际学校及教育机构开展讲座与转介合作,欢迎微信联系。
