AP Credit Transfer to UCs??

Transfer Students UC Transfers
1

Hi guys,

I’m applying to transfer for Fall 2017. I have taken a course in critical thinking/english composition, however I have not taken an intro english composition class. Transferring to UCLA states that you need both of these classes.

I did complete the AP English Language test with a 3, and was able to receive credit from my community college. However, I am unsure if this credit will transfer.

Does anyone know if I will need to complete the first english class?
(I will have IGETC completed btw)

Thanks for all your help!!
Good luck on your college apps :slight_smile:

If it’s for IGETC, you have completed both courses. The UCs accept that AP discrepancy, even if the UC itself would want a score of 4 or above. In other words, the CC allows AP 3 for English IGETC, and therefore so do all the UCs.

Some divisions at UC do not accept IGETC (e.g. UCB College of Engineering, http://www.assist.org/web-assist/reportOnly.do?agreement=aa&reportPath=REPORT_2&reportScript=Rep2.pl&event=19&dir=1&rinst=left&EM=1&sia=AHC&ia=AHC&ria=UCB&oia=UCB&ay=16-17&dora=ENGMECH ). If you target those, you need to check whether your courses and AP credit fulfill the specific requirements (e.g. UCB College of Engineering requires a 4 on AP English to satisfy the English R1A requirement).

Okay that makes sense! Thanks for all your help. :slight_smile:

I’m in the same boat as you regarding the AP English Language score of 3. I wouldn’t qualify for Haas as a business major because they don’t accept IGETC. I think I’m good as an Economics major for Berkeley though, since they accept IGETC, I think. I’m curious as to know whether Irvine’s Business Administration accepts IGETC or not. I think I’m good for Davis, since they’re pretty lax.
