Students who take the Calculus BC exam and earn a sub-score of 3 or higher on the Calculus AB portion will receive credit for the
Calculus AB exam, even if they do not receive a score of 3 or higher on the BC exam. The Calculus BC/AB sub-score satisfies IGETC
Area 2A.
UC Transfer Admissions Eligibility Area:
• UC-B=Behavioral and Social Sciences, UC-E=English, UC-H=Humanities, UC-M=Math, UC-S=Biological and Physical Sciences
• UC-E: If English AP test score of 3, 4, 5 was achieved prior to completing any transferable English composition course(s), 8 quarter
units of transfer credit are awarded for the AP exam, and one of two English Composition requirements (UC-E) satisfied. UC Davis
articulates (AP) English Language and Composition, and English Literature and Composition, with scores of 4 or 5 as UWP 1 and
English 3; therefore we will not allow transfer credit for any duplicated English courses.
• See www.assist.org, Help Topics: UC Transfer Admissions Eligibility, for details related to UC transfer admission courses.
IGETC Area:
• Each AP exam may be applied to one IGETC area as satisfying one course requirement, with the exception of Language other than
English (LOTE).
• There is no equivalent AP exam for the Area 1B—Critical Thinking/Composition requirement.
• For details regarding IGETC certification, see your California community college adviser and www.assist.org, Help Topics: IGETC.
Students entering UC Davis with partial IGETC certification should contact their dean’s office.

Duplicate Credit Allowance for Coursework/Exams:
The university does not generally award full credit for duplicate college coursework or exams, whether taken before or during enrollment at the university. Exceptions
to this policy are indicated in this column. We encourage students who have AP credit to speak with an academic adviser in their major department, dean’s office or
Biology Academic Success Center to determine which courses will provide the greatest benefit.
