Transfer Student Admission

The University welcomes transfer students. It has worked hard in recent years to strengthen relationships with California's community colleges and to develop programs to help community college students with the transfer process. In 2008–09, more than 11,000 students transferred from California's community colleges to the University, and close to a third of UC bachelor's degrees were awarded to students who started out at community colleges.

To transfer to UC, students must become eligible for admission to the University, prepare for upper-division study in the chosen major, and complete an appropriate set of general education course requirements and electives to earn a total of 60 semester units or 90 quarter units with a GPA of at least 2.4 (for nonresidents, minimum GPA is 2.8).
