Transferring from American River College to UC Davis?

I'm planning to transfer from American River College to UC Davis after completing my general education. What GPA do I need, and are there any articulation agreements I should be aware of?

As a transfer applicant, your GPA is a key component of your application. While UC Davis does not set a specific GPA requirement for transfer students, it's worth noting that transfer students typically have a GPA of 3.5 or higher. That being said, every application is assessed holistically, and a lower GPA does not automatically disqualify you.

American River College does indeed have articulation agreements with UC Davis. Articulation agreements are formal agreements between two institutions that outline the transfer policies for a specific academic program or degree. On Assist.org, you can view the official database for transferable courses between Californian community colleges and UCs.

Furthermore, you might want to consider the UC Davis Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) program. If you're enrolled in an associate degree program at American River College, you could be eligible for this transfer program, which provides a streamlined transfer experience.

Since each academic program may have different requirements, it would be helpful for you to connect with an advisor at both American River College and UC Davis. Advisors can give you the most accurate and up-to-date information that directly relates to your situation. Their advice can provide a more specific guide for your transfer goal.

Remember to start filing your UC application from October 1st to November 30th of the year prior to when you want to enroll. Good luck in your journey to UC Davis!
