Reporting A-G courses from community college on UC app?

I took some A-G courses at a community college and I'm applying to UC schools. How do I ensure these courses are reported correctly on my application? Is there a specific section where I should list this info?

Yes, there is a specific section on the UC application where you can enter the courses that you've taken at a community college. In the "Academic History" section of the application, you'll have the opportunity to list multiple schools. In this section, you will add the community college as another school, just like your high school.

After you've added the community college, you'll be able to list the courses you've taken there similar to how you list your high school courses. You should specify the exact course name and code as it appears on your community college transcript. Be sure to properly indicate the term/semester and make sure to check the box that indicates that the course is a-g approved. On the UC application a-g courses are labeled as "college-prep" courses, so look for that designation when inputting your community college courses.

Lastly, ensure you send your official community college transcript to the UC schools you're applying to validate the courses you've taken there. Keep in mind that courses taken at a community college are generally viewed as more demanding than those at a high school level, which can help enhance the academic rigor of your application.

To sum up: add the community college under the "Academic History" section, add your courses with the appropriate designations, and don't forget to submit your official community college transcript along with your application.
