Duplication
Credit for first instance of completing a
course with a letter grade of “C, B, A”.
If there is a repeat of the same course, with a higher
grade, UC will not award credit.
Even if the course is completed at a different
institution.
• e.g. Bio 101 General Biology with a C; repeated with
Bio 1A General Biology with an A.

TCA Footnotes
Footnotes on the UC Transfer Course
Agreement (TCA) on ASSIST are
instrumental in our evaluation process
• To determine awarding of transfer credit
• Calculation of the GPA UC uses
• To ensure students are not short of units
Ensuring Transfer Success 2014
12
Limitations
Two similar courses, each is transferable, but if a
student takes both, UC will award credit for only one
course.
• (e.g. College Algebra and Precalculus)
Two series of courses, UC will award credit for only
one series.
• (e.g. Business Calculus & Calculus for science and
engineering)
Total transferable units will be reduced.

How does UC evaluate an
“I” Grade?
Check the academic regulations of the institution to
determine how to calculate an Incomplete (“I”) grade.
At most collegiate institutions, an “I” lapses after one
academic year.
Check the student’s: academic records, additional
comments, personal statement, Transfer Academic Update
or contact the student directly for an explanation about the
“I” grade.
Ensuring Transfer Success 2014

Transfer Academic Update (TAU)
Applicants are notified by
email to complete the
Transfer Academic
Update form when their
application submission is
acknowledged.
Some campuses or
specific majors may
require additional forms.

Lower Division Unit Maximum
Limitation
UC awards a maximum of 70 sem/105 qtr units of credit for
lower division coursework
• Subject credit granted to satisfy requirements beyond
the maximum units awarded
• AP, IB, and/or A-Level examination units are not included
in the limitation
• UC units are added to the maximum lower division
transfer credit allowed

Examples of Counting Units
Example A: 2 yr + 4 yr + 4 yr
Berkeley City College, San Francisco State University with
both lower and upper division units, Pepperdine University
with only upper division units
Example B: 2 yr + UC + 2yr
Modesto Jr. College, UC Merced, Oxnard College
Ensuring Transfer Success 2014
21
Examples of Counting Units
60 sem units Berkeley City College
+ 24 sem units San Francisco State (4 Lower Div units and 20 Upper Div units)
+ 15 sem units Pepperdine Univ (all Upper Div units )
Total = 99 sem units
Lower Division total is 64 sem (60 BCC + 4 PU)
- LD limit not exceeded
Add all Upper Division Units
• Dean’s Review required for some campuses
• Most campuses will not offer admission
Ensuring Transfer Success 2014
22
Examples of Counting Units
76.5 sem units Modesto Jr College
+ 16 sem units UC Merced - All UC units are added
+ 15 sem units Oxnard College
Total = 107.5 sem units.
21.5 excess lower division units
(76.5 MJC + 15 Oxnard = 91.5)
107.5 – 21.5 = 85 sem units
Total: 85 sem units
• Dean’s Review required by some campuses

Former UC Student at a CCC
CCC Advisers Should Ask:
What was the student’s academic standing at UC?
What is the student’s goal: return to the same UC or
transfer to a different UC campus?
Did the student satisfy the Entry Level Writing
Requirement while at UC?
Does the student plan to complete IGETC?
Ensuring Transfer Success 2014
25
Former UC Student
On Academic Probation at UC
Ask the student: Are you now or have you ever been
on academic probation at UC?
If yes, is the desire to:
• Return to the former UC campus?
• Transfer to a different UC campus?
