I'm attending Sierra College and looking to transfer to UC Merced. Does anyone know which courses are guaranteed to transfer? I want to make sure I’m on the right track.
To determine if any specific courses you're taking at Sierra College will transfer to UC Merced, it's important to utilize the ASSIST website. ASSIST is an online student-transfer information system that shows how course credits earned at one public California college or university can be applied when transferred to another.
You can select 'Sierra College' as the institution you're transferring from and 'UC Merced' as the institution you're transferring to. Then select your intended major at UC Merced to get specific information. It will show you all the equivalent courses at Sierra that fulfill requirements for your intended major at UC Merced, as well as any necessary general education courses.
Furthermore, make sure you're following the IGETC plan (Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum), especially if you haven't declared a major yet. This will ensure you meet the general education requirements for all UC campuses. Also, consult with your academic advisor frequently to verify you're on track with your course selections.
Keep in mind that even if a course is not listed on ASSIST, it doesn’t necessarily mean it will not transfer. You should always reach out to UC Merced's admission office or your community college’s transfer center for guidance.
