CSU transferring to a CCC

For Fall 2017, I attended cal poly Pomona but now I’m thinking of transferring to PCC because I want to attend UCLA. The classes I completed last quarter were, Physical Geography 101, Intro to Cultural Anthropology, English 110, and Intro to Music 100. Are these course transferable or do I have to take them again? I’m a biology major, thank you for your help!

You can check assist.org to see which classes are transferable. Even if a particular class does not show as transferable, it may still be accepted. I would keep all the paperwork from the class, such as the syllabus, etc.

My question is why do you want to transfer? If you do transfer to PCC and can’t get into UCLA, what’s your back up plan? Cal Poly Pomona is a respectable university–you could finish your degree there, and then look to a UC for grad school.

Also, classes start at CPP tomorrow–are you not planning to take classes this quarter?

Those will all be transferable. If you go to a CCC just make sure the English 110 fulfills the first English requirement before you take the second as they are sequential.

Above poster is correct. Why not just stay at Pomona and fulfill the major requirements by choosing your intended UC/UCs and any community college on assist.org? One of the big reasons CSU applicants don’t get in is because they didn’t fulfill requirements. Use assist and match courses.

UCLA and PCC:

Plus, do gen ed. You need:
—2 English composition
—1 quantitative math, like pre-calc or stats
—4 other courses in at least two areas: (1) arts/humanities; (2) social sciences; (3) life/physical sciences. Since you’re a bio major you will obviously be completing Calc and life/physical science requirements.
—Music 100 should fulfill Arts/humanities
—Geography will be humanities (maybe social science)
—Anthro will be social science
So you probably have GE done just by focusing now on your major req.

However, look at the top portion on assist for each major at each UC as each department might have another gen ed course requirement.
