Is their any university that requires you to finish the entire Calculus Physics Series at one community college?
I was considering taking the first of the 3 part series at another community college this summer and the last 2 at my current community college 2018-2019.
Reason being is my cc has never offered the first class in the summer and the other cc always does.
I can also meet all the required and recommended prerequisites the spring before the transfer doing it this way vs staying another year for just the last physics class.
many students attend several CCs in order to get all their classes. Use ASSIST to make sure the credits line up; in other words the class at CC A gives you credit for the 1st part, then the 2 classes at CC B give you credit for the 2nd 2 parts.
The UC schools send counselors regularly to CCs. You can look up the next visit and ask the UC counselor directly.
Definitely check assist. I think UCB requires you to finish the series all in one place and other schools might just recommend it.
Use http://www.assist.org .
Check whether the articulation listings show a 1-to-1 mapping, or a series-to-series mapping.
For example, both Santa Barbara and Ventura colleges have 1-to-1 mappings for UCB physics (7A, 7B, 7C) courses, so mixing and matching should be ok:

However, note that Santa Barbara has only series-to-series articulation for UCB biology (1A, 1AL, 1B), so if you need to take those biology courses at Santa Barbara, you need to complete the entire series (101, 102, 103) at Santa Barbara.
@ucbalumnus I appreciate the effort you placed into your post and for seeing my prior post.
@ucbalumnus Also that is along the lines of what I had originally thought, but @erichioro may also be up to something as I know Haas requires both English courses to be done at the same school. But as far as Bio goes, I was just going to take the Gen Chem 1 equivalent instead.
I do not believe that is accurate info re Haas. The only time the English courses need to be taken at the same college is if the CCC has listed them as a two-part series. Most of the time they are noted as separate entities on assist and not as a section of a two-part series, so can be taken at different colleges. At least that’s how Berkeley explained that rule to me. God is in the details.
It might be for my specific CCC but that’s what a UC B transfer adviser told me this past summer.
This is an overall issue I have with the UCs. So much inconsistency. They need more uniform policies. These variances in minutiae are irritating IMHO.
The thing about English courses for the business major seems to be based on this section of the ASSIST pages:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ENGLISH R1A Reading and (4)|ENG 110 Composition and (3)
Composition | Reading
| OR
|ENG 110H Composition and (3)
<h2> | Reading, Honors </h2>
ENGLISH R1B Reading and (4)|ENG 111 Critical Thinking and (3)
Composition | Composition Through
| Literature
| OR
|ENG 111H Critical Thinking and (3)
| Composition through
| Literature, Honors
NOTE: Do not assume that this sequence can be divided. Unless the R1A and R1B
equivalents are separately specified, the entire sequence should be completed at
this school.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
However, it does look like, for most community colleges, the articulation to UCB English R1A and R1B are 1-to-1 (separately specified for R1A and R1B), not series-to-series. But telling you to complete the series at one community college is the “safe” thing to say, since it covers all possible cases.
@ucbalumnus You are killing it with these thorough posts I love it. I definitely see what you are saying thought with the 1-to-1 articulation. Sounds like she was trying to be on the safe side.
@Ohm888 I agree with you 100%.
