Transferring Coursework
From a Community College
After you have completed 105 quarter units, you will be allowed no more unit credit from
coursework taken at a Community College. The 105 total quarter units include:
- all college level credit earned before entering UCLA
- all AP credit
- credit earned at UCLA
- credit earned at other college while attending UCLA (see
Concurrent Enrollment)
You may still receive course credit and satisfy requirements with community college coursework
without receiving unit credit.
From a 4-year College
While the College has no specific limit on the number of units that you may transfer from a 4-year
institution, be sure to stay within the guidelines mandated by the
Senior Residence requirement.
From an Education Abroad Program
See Course Restrictions
From a non-UC Study Abroad Program
Transcripts must come from an accredited educational institution (either the host institution
or a US institution through which the program is offered). Transcripts from a study abroad agency
will not receive credit. Coursework must also be of an academic nature and must be itemized with
each course listed separately. Please be aware that upper division credit cannot be guaranteed
prior to the receipt of official transcripts. The application of transfer credit towards a major
or minor requirement may therefore not be possible despite previous provisional departmental
approval, and students should have an alternative program plan should a class not apply as expected.
There is no limit to the number of units that may be transferred but students must be in compliance
with Residence requirements.
Note:
Transfer coursework may receive credit if deemed admissable by Admissions.
Please be aware that transfer work from some institutions may not be transferrable
(e.g. if not on a transcript from an accredited educational institution) or may not
receive specific upper division credit, and is therefore taken at your own risk.
