Additional University of California Eligibility Factors To Consider

Special Note: if you have Advance Placement or International Baccalaureate scores please meet with a LPC Counselor to determine the credits that will be accepted by the UC of your choice. This credit can vary from UC and from major to major.

  • Complete lower division requirements and earn competitive grade point average specific to your UC campus and specific major. ASSIST will help in course articulation for specific majors.
  • ARTICULATION AGREEMENTS: Articulation agreements identify coursework completed at one institution that meets the requirements of another institution for major preparation, general education or transferable units.
    Most articulation agreements are between a community college and a university, but there can be agreements between two community colleges or two universities.
  • ASSIST: As a prospective transfer student, it is important to make sure that the community college courses you take are acceptable to the university for transfer credit. ASSIST is California's official statewide repository of transfer information for the California State University and University of California university systems. ASSIST offers easy access to a single articulation database. ASSIST will help you determine if you will received credit for courses you've already taken, or plan to take and how those courses apply to a specific academic major or general education requirement.
  • The UC campuses require students to attend full-time and a student must petition to attend with less units.
  • BEYOND YOUR DEGREE: GRADUATE SCHOOL, INTERNSHIPS, RESEARCH
