UC: Articulation & Information
REMINDER: HUMN 7 has been pulled from UC list as of Fall 2007...as noted on last year's UCTCA. The Humanities department has plans to update course and resubmit to UC in the near future.
9/08 UC Accepts Credit by Exam Courses. The courses must be UC transferrable, listed on a transcript with a grade and units. UC does NOT accept 2+2 articulation. CSU also does NOT accept this. UC does not accept credit for sequential knowledge courses back further than the one tested for. An example would be if the student tested at the 3rd level of Spanish and the CCC gave units and grade points to Spanish 1 and 2. UC only allows credit for Spanish 2.
1/07 Geog. 1 and 1L Do Not Need to be Taken Together (per Andrea Alvardo). Please note that there is a statement on page 60 of the Schedule of Classes that is incorrect. The statement is directly below the Geography heading and states: "Students planning to transfer to the UC should be advised that present UC policy requires concurrent enrollment in Geography 1 lecture and lab in order for the student to receive laboratory science credit." Students do NOT need to take the lecture and lab concurrently to receive credit on IGETC.
1/07 Changing An Application That Has Been Submitted. A student may amend an application that has already been submitted if:
- the original contains mistakes or planned coursework has changed
- the student has moved or changed schools
- the student wants to apply to additional UC campuses after submitting an application
To change an application, the student should send the changes in writing to the admissions office of the campus to which he or she is applying.
A student whose address, e-mail address and/or telephone number has changed should update the information on the Application Status website at https://www.ucapplication.net/ucap <file://localhost/ucap> or notify the application processing service at this address: University of California Undergraduate Application Processing Service, P.O.Box 4010, Concord, CA 94524-4010.
A student who decides to apply to additional UC campuses after submitting an application should send a written request to the application processing service and include this information:
* Application ID number
* Social Security Number
* New campus name(s)
* Major(s) to which the student wishes to apply
* Check or money order for $60 for each additional campus ($70 for international applicants), payable to the Regents of the University of California.
Students may not substitute new campus choices for their original choices. Student requests to apply to additional campuses will be honored only if those campuses still have space available. The processing service will notify students about whether their applications were accepted. Students should not submit a second application form; it will not be processed.
12/06 ASSIST: Engineering Majors Must Complete 80% Lower Division Major Courses by Spring for Fall Enrollment (Alvarado) This means 80% of the UC Berkeley course work indicated in ASSIST - not 80% of the LPC courses articulated. Therefore, 80% of the UC Berkeley course work may actually equal 100% of the LPC courses since we don't have everything articulated (due to not having comparable courses).
10/06 Variable Unit Courses. Any variable topics course (including Contemporary Studies 49s, Independent Study 29s, Colloquia 9s, etc.) cannot be counted toward the 60 units for transfer to the UC system. Students may petition the specific university after transfer, but that's not a guarantee.
10/06 Math 45 & 20 Has Transfer Limitation. Math 45 in our current catalog does not have an asterisk indicating a UC transfer limitation; however, it should. The current limitation is that students only get credit for one course when they take both Math 45 and Math 20.
12/05 Some UC Campuses/Majors Require Advanced Placement Scores of 5 for Credit. (per Arnold Bojorquez, Coordinator, Matriculation, abojorqu@cccco.edu , (916) 323-0799.) A community college student was having difficulty meeting his transfer requirements because of his AP credits. The student took AP micro and macroeconomics courses in high school and received scores of 5 (macro) and 4(micro). He then had those scores sent to his community college where a grade of “credit” was posted on his transcript for Econ 1 Macroeconomics and Econ 3 Microeconomics. When he applied to UC San Diego as a transfer student, he was informed that UCSD only accepted credit for AP courses with a score of 5. So, in order to transfer to UCSD, he was required to enroll in and complete Econ 3, Microeconomics. The catch 22: The community college will not allow him to enroll in Econ 3 because he already received credit for the course. He then asked if he could have the CR notation removed from the transcript and was told that the State will not remove information from a transcript once posted unless it is erroneous. He cannot transfer without completing the course (at least not to UCSD) since it is a prerequisite to all of the upper division courses in economics. We found out: Title 5, Section 55763 (Course Repetition: Special Circumstances) could be implemented here. This section requires that a student who wishes to repeat a course for which substandard work was not recorded can petition the college on the basis that "circumstances exist which justify such repetition." If granted, the grade will not be counted in calculating the student's GPA, and his/her academic record will be annotated to show that this repetition occurred. This petition provision is not mandated by Title 5 language; but the college is allowed to provide it, so there is a way for a student caught in the situation described above to address it without going to another college and attempting to camouflage his/her academic history.
- 12/05 AP/UCB (per Karen Taylor) This catch-22 regarding a situation like this used to happen frequently at UCB, particularly when students had taken the wrong English courses or had an AP exam with a 3 that the community college WOULD use for the 1A (and UCB won't), but the student needed an English pattern (like 1A-3-7) for something like Engineering/Business, etc. Usually the student WAS able to take the class, I suspect based on this Title V kind of language.
