Credit for first instance of completing a course with a letter grade of “C, B, A”.

If there is a repeat of the same course, with a higher grade, UC will not award credit.

Even if the course is completed at a different institution.• e.g. Bio 101 General Biology with a C; repeated with

Bio 1A General Biology with an A.

Footnotes on the UC Transfer Course Agreement (TCA) on ASSIST are instrumental in our evaluation process

• To determine awarding of transfer credit

• Calculation of the GPA UC uses

• To ensure students are not short of units

12

TCA Footnotes


Two similar courses, each is transferable, but if a student takes both, UC will award credit for only one course. • (e.g. College Algebra and Precalculus)

Two series of courses, UC will award credit for only one series. • (e.g. Business Calculus & Calculus for science and

engineering)

Total transferable units will be reduced.

13

Limitations


How much credit will UC award for the 3 courses completed below? 9 units?

TCA Footnotes:1Maximum credit allowed for Poli Sci 101 is one unit if taken after Poli Sci105 or Soc Sci 132;

2No credit for Poli Sci 105 if taken after Poli Sci 101 or Soc Sci 132

3Maximum credit allowed for Soc Sci 132 if taken after Poli Sci 101 or Poli Sci 105 is two units

14

Partial Credit

SOC SCI 132 Intro to Social Science 4 units

POL SCI 105 Amer Political Ideals 2 units

Check the academic regulations of the institution to determine how to calculate an Incomplete (“I”) grade.

At most collegiate institutions, an “I” lapses after one academic year.

Check the student’s: academic records, additional comments, personal statement, Transfer Academic Update or contact the student directly for an explanation about the “I” grade.

16

How does UC evaluate an “I” Grade?


17

Transfer Academic Update (TAU)

Applicants are notified by email to complete the Transfer Academic Update form when their application submission is acknowledged.

Some campuses or specific majors may require additional forms.


What Happens if the TAU is NOT Submitted?

Priority deadline is January 31st

Campuses review through March but no guarantee late submissions and/or changes will be reviewed

18

Transfer Academic Update


UC awards a maximum of 70 sem/105 qtr units of credit for lower division coursework

• Subject credit granted to satisfy requirements beyond the maximum units awarded

• AP, IB, and/or A-Level examination units are not included in the limitation

• UC units are added to the maximum lower division transfer credit allowed

20

Lower Division Unit Maximum Limitation


Example A: 2 yr + 4 yr + 4 yr

Berkeley City College, San Francisco State University with both lower and upper division units, Pepperdine University with only upper division units

Example B: 2 yr + UC + 2yr

Modesto Jr. College, UC Merced, Oxnard College

21

Examples of Counting Units


60 sem units Berkeley City College+ 24 sem units San Francisco State (4 Lower Div units and 20 Upper Div units) + 15 sem units Pepperdine Univ (all Upper Div units )

Total = 99 sem units

Lower Division total is 64 sem (60 BCC + 4 PU)- LD limit not exceeded

Add all Upper Division Units

• Dean’s Review required for some campuses• Most campuses will not offer admission

22



76.5 sem units Modesto Jr College+ 16 sem units UC Merced - All UC units are added+ 15 sem units Oxnard College

Total = 107.5 sem units.21.5 excess lower division units

(76.5 MJC + 15 Oxnard = 91.5)107.5 – 21.5 = 85 sem units

Total: 85 sem units

• Dean’s Review required by some campuses

CCC Advisers Should Ask:

What was the student’s academic standing at UC?

What is the student’s goal: return to the same UC or transfer to a different UC campus?

Did the student satisfy the Entry Level Writing Requirement while at UC?

Does the student plan to complete IGETC?

25

Former UC Student at a CCC


Ask the student: Are you now or have you ever been on academic probation at UC?

If yes, is the desire to:• Return to the former UC campus?• Transfer to a different UC campus?

26

If ELWR was not completed and the student is returning to same UC campus it must be completed at that UC campus.

If ELWR was not completed and the student is transferring to different UC campus it can be completed at the community college.

27

Former UC Student Entry Level Writing Requirement


Transferring to a different UC Campus• IGETC is acceptable but may not be necessary

depending on the major

Returning to the same UC Campus• IGETC is not acceptable
