UC transfer requirements from Mendocino College?

I'm planning on transferring from Mendocino College to a UC school and I want to make sure I'm on track. Does anyone know the specific requirements or have tips on how to successfully transfer?

Transferring from a community college to a UC school is a fantastic pathway and you're taking the right steps by preparing! Here are some general requirements in order to be eligible to transfer to a UC school from a California community college:

1. Junior Standing: You'll need to complete a minimum of 60 semester (90 quarter) UC-transferable units, with at least 30 semester (45 quarter) units from UC-approved courses in English, mathematical concepts, and quantitative reasoning.

2. Grade Point Average (GPA): To be competitive in the application process, aim for a GPA of 3.2 or higher. Certain majors may require a higher GPA.

3. English and Math Requirement: You must complete a minimum of two transferable college courses in English composition and one transferable college course in mathematical concepts and quantitative reasoning.

4. General Education (GE) or IGETC: While not always required, completing the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) can make you a stronger applicant. Keep in mind that some UC colleges and programs do not accept IGETC, so it's essential to check with an advisor.

5. Major Preparation: It's recommended that you complete the prerequisites for your desired major. You can find this information through assist.org, which shows the transferability between California community colleges and UC schools.

Besides the educational requirements, familiarize yourself with UC application deadlines. Typically, the application filing period for fall semester is between November 1-30 of the previous year. Be sure to stay organized, and start your application process ahead of time.

Congrats on considering this next step in your academic journey, and good luck with your transfer process!
