CSU to CC to UC?

Transfer Students UC Transfers
1

<p>Okay, so I am registered for CSU San Marcos for this upcoming fall as a freshmen. I am planning on applying as a transfer to USC once I finish my first year at CSUSM, since USC doesn't require any minimum GPA.</p>

<p>My backup plan is if I don't get into USC, I will drop out of CSU San Marcos altogether and head on over to community college in hopes of transferring to a UC through TAG.</p>

<p>My question is, is the transition from CSU to CC to UC easy? Will my courses taken at CSU transfer over to my CC and count as credit when I apply for UC? Also, I am starting out with 12 credits, since I passed AP Calculus AB and BC test. Those will transfer too as well right?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Yes, the courses you take at CSU will transfer to CC and to UC **IF **they are UC-transferable. To find out if this is so, I would find the CC equivalent of the CSU course, then use the CC catalog to find out if the class is UC-transferable</p>

<p>Yes, the AP scores will transfer over as credit to a CC.</p>

<p>Your transition from CC to UC would be like any other CC student applying to UC EXCEPT you will have a STRICT unit limitation placed upon you in terms of how many TOTAL units you can transfer to a UC. If you spend a total of 2 years before transferring, you should be fine.</p>
