What UC Offers
Each campus within the UC system has its own unique

bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees in a variety
of subject areas.
One of the world's most respected research universities,
the University of California offers its undergraduates
an unmatched range of distinguished academic
programs. Its dynamic learning environment is fueled
by more than 7,600 dedicated, accomplished faculty
members teaching more than 200,000 of the country's
best and brightest students.
Outside the classroom, UC students can tap into extensive
libraries and research facilities and a range of
student clubs and activities where they can explore
their interests.
Beyond the university, graduates enjoy high acceptance
rates at graduate and professional schools and
compete successfully in the job market, often becoming
leaders in their fields.
UC and the Community College Advantage
The University of California works in partnership with
California's community colleges to make admission attainable
for transfer students. Specifically, California
community college students receive:
Priority consideration: The University gives juniorlevel
community college students first priority over
other transfer applicants, including those from fouryear
institutions and UC's own intercampus transfer
students.
Help in choosing courses: Articulation agreements
with all of the state's community colleges identify
which courses satisfy the requirements of individual
UC campuses.
Guaranteed admission: Many UC campuses offer
individual admission agreements that guarantee students
space on campus or in a particular major, provided
they complete specific academic requirements
while at community college. Citrus has Transfer Admission
Guarantee (TAG’s) with Davis, Irvine, Merced,
Riverside, San Diego, Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz.
Avoid the competition-guarantee yourself admission.

Transfer Eligibility
Requirements
The UC considers you a transfer applicant if you enrolled
in a regular session at a college or university
after high school, not including summer session. You
can't disregard your college record and apply as a
freshman. A maximum of 70 semester units of transferable
credit will be accepted for courses completed
at a California community college.
Junior-Level Transfer
The vast majority of transfer students come to the
University at the junior level from California community
colleges. To be eligible for admission as a junior
transfer student, you must fulfill both of the following
criteria:
1) Complete 60 semester units of transferable
college credit with at least a 2.4 GPA (2.8 for
nonresidents). No more than 14 semester units
may be taken Pass/Not Pass.
2) Complete the following seven transferable college
courses, earning as grade of C or better in each
course:
• Two courses in English composition;
• One course in mathematical concepts and
quantitative reasoning;
• Four courses chosen from at least two of these
subject areas: arts and humanities, social and
behavioral sciences, and physical and biological
sciences.
If you satisfy the Intersegmental General Education
Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) prior to transferring to
UC, you may satisfy the seven-course pattern outlined
above, depending on the courses you take.
