TRANSFERRING CREDIT

You may be able to apply credit you received for course work outside of UCSC to your UCSC major. You will need to provide proof of the completed course or exam to receive credit. In order to transfer course credit, you must be admitted to UCSC and have received a “C” or better in the course you wish to transfer.

For information regarding:

Advanced Placement credit (and International Bacheloriat credit): If you took advanced placement courses and completed the associated exams you may qualify for degree or prerequisite credit towards your major. This means you might not have to take the placement exam (s) for math, chemistry or introductory biology...

California Community College credit: The campus has articulation agreements with most California Community Colleges that clearly states what UCSC course credit you qualify for.

College-level credit from another university/EAP: Credit from other universities (this includes international programs) must be articulated to determine what, if any, UCSC credit is warranted.

NOTE: If the course you are transferring is a pre-requisite to a course you are trying to enroll in at UCSC, you will not be able to enroll until you have had your credit articulated and transferred by the BioAdvising Office.
