TRANSFER TO THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
e University of California (UC) campuses at Berkeley, Davis, Irvine, Los Angeles, Merced, Riverside, San Diego, Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz all share the same minimum admission requirements; however, each campus is unique. e academic programs that are o ered, the size of the student body, and the physical environment are just a few of the factors that contribute to the distinctive character of each campus. Transfer admission requirements vary by campus and by major as well. Academic preparation and grade point average are factors reviewed by campuses and programs as part of the selection process. ese criteria vary from year to year and from campus to campus based on the number and quali cations of applicants. Comprehensive information about the UC system and campuses is available at admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/ transfer/index.html.
e UC considers an applicant to be a transfer student if the applicant has enrolled in a regular session at a college or university after high school. Students who meet this de nition cannot disregard their college records and apply as freshmen. A student who takes a class or two during the summer term immediately following high school graduation is not considered a transfer student.
While at De Anza and prior to applying to the UC, students are advised to research campus catalogs and websites, contact UC campus Admissions O ces, and consult with a counselor or academic adviser to con rm appropriate course selection for admission.
e following information was taken from the UC Quick Reference for Coun- selors guide. De Anza is not responsible for any changes the UC may make to this information after publication of this catalog.
Admission Requirements for Junior-Level Transfers
e majority of transfer students come to UC at the junior level from California community colleges. e requirements described below represent the minimum academic standards all students must attain to be considered for admission to UC. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission to UC. Often, admission to UC campuses and/
or programs is extremely competitive and requires students to meet more demanding standards.
Minimum Requirements
To be considered for admission as a junior transfer, a student must meet the following criteria:
■ Complete 90 quarter (60 semester) units of UC-transferable college credit with a GPA of at least 2.4 (2.8 for nonresidents). No more than
21 quarter (14 semester) units of the required 90 units may be taken Pass/Not Pass, unless the student
is transferring from a college or university that awards only pass credit
■ Be in good academic standing (2.0 GPA or better) at the last institution of attendance and at any previous UC campus where the student was enrolled in a regular term (e.g., fall, winter, spring)
■ Complete the following seven-course pattern, earning a grade of "C" or better in each course:
o Two transferable college courses
(4-5 quarter or 3 semester units
each) in English composition
o One transferable college course (4-5 quarter or 3 semester units
each) in mathematical concepts
and quantitative reasoning
o Four transferable college courses
(4-5 quarter or 3 semester units each) chosen from at least two of the following subject areas: arts and humanities, social and behavioral sciences, and physical and biological sciences
e above seven courses may be completed with a Pass/Credit/ Satisfactory grade if such designations are equivalent to a letter grade of "C" (2.0) or better. Additionally, AP exams with scores of 3, 4 or 5 can also be used. Please note: Only one of the two English composition/literature courses required can be met with an exam score.
If a student meets the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) prior to transferring, he or she may meet the seven-course pattern.
All UC campuses recommend that students complete math and English as early as possible, though some highly recommend or require completion by the end of the fall term, one year prior to enrolling at UC.
Lower-Division Transfers
Some UC campuses may admit a limited number of transfer students before they reach junior standing.
Visit admission.universityofcalifornia. edu/how-to-apply/check-majors/index. html to learn if a UC campus will accept applications from lower-division transfers.
In addition to satisfying UC admission requirements, transfer students must ful ll additional requirements before graduating. Some, such as the American history and institutions requirement and the entry-level writing requirement, are UC-wide. Other requirements – such as major preparation and general education – vary by campus and by major.
Nonresidents
e minimum admission requirements for nonresidents are very similar to those for residents. Transfer students who are not California residents may consult with the Admissions O ce at a UC campus to con rm admission requirements. In all cases, however, nonresidents must have a grade point average of 2.8 or higher in all transferable college coursework.
TRANSFER TO
THE CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY
e California State University (CSU) system gives priority admission consid- eration to CCC students who meet the CSU upper-division transfer admission requirements. However, the highest ad- mission priority is given to CCC students who have earned a CCC Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT). CCC students will be considered as having achieved junior class level standing once they have completed an ADT or at least 90 quarter (60 semester) CSU-transferable level units that meet their lower-division major requirements.
While at De Anza and prior to applying to the CSU, students are advised to research campus catalogs and websites, contact CSU campus admissions o ces, and consult with a counselor or academic adviser to con rm appropriate course selection for admission. For more information about a specific CSU campus, consult the university’s general catalog.
