Transferring community college courses to UCSD

I've taken a couple of courses at a community college and I’m wondering about the process of transferring them to UCSD. Does UCSD have a transfer guide for community college credits?

Yes, UCSD does have a process for transferring community college credits. UCSD utilizes a tool called Assist.org to help students see which of their community college courses transfer directly to the university. Assist.org is an online system that provides transferable course information between California's public higher education institutions—the California Community Colleges, the California State University, and the University of California systems.

To use this tool, you would select your community college and UCSD, and the website will show which specific courses from the community college are equivalent to the classes at UCSD. Keep in mind, not all courses will transfer directly and some might only transfer as elective credits.

After you've been admitted to UCSD, you would then need to send your official transcripts from your community college to UCSD's Admissions Office. They'd analyze your transcript and finalize your transfer credit. You'd be notified about the specifics of that credit via your TritonLink account, which is UCSD's online portal for students.

The process can take some time so it's important to be proactive and communicate with both institutions to ensure that everything is being handled correctly. If you have more detailed or specific questions about your situation, it would be best to reach out to the admissions office at UCSD or a counselor at your community college.
