What UC classes can I transfer from Pierce College?

I'm currently studying at Pierce College and considering transferring to a UC school. How can I figure out which classes will transfer? Is there a specific resource or counselor that can help me with this?

To figure out what courses will transfer, you can use a tool called ASSIST. ASSIST is an online resource designed to help California Community College students transfer their course credits to a University of California or California State University. Here's the process:

1. Navigate to the ASSIST website.

2. Choose the institution you are transferring from (Pierce College) and the institution you want to transfer to (choose the specific UC).

3. The report will provide an agreement on which courses at Pierce College correspond to which at the selected UC.

It's important to keep in mind that transferable courses are not always equivalent to requirements for a specific major—they could be electives. So it's also ideal to work with an academic advisor at Pierce College and potentially at your intended UC school. The Transfer Center at Pierce College is a great resource to reach out to for such matters. They can guide you through the transfer process and answer any specific questions you may have about course compatibility.

Lastly, remember to apply for admission to your intended UC school during the transfer admission filing period, which is from October 1 to November 30. While there's a lot of flexibility with transferring community college courses, having a plan can help you make more informed decisions and ensure a seamless transition. Good luck with your transfer process!
