<p>I'm applying to UCLA for communications and I need to complete my fourth requirement BEFORE Fall '10. Well I'm and out-of-state student and I will be in Iowa for most of the summer. The class I need to take is Speech 5 AKA Interpersonal Communication. Since I'm out-of-state I planned on taking this course online through my CC in Iowa. </p>
<p>Well I wanted to make sure this thing is UC transferable before I go taking an entire class for nothing. I talked to a UCLA guy who allegedly "knew his stuff" and he basically gave me the answer of "take the class and we will see when you send the transcript if it works." That wasn't the answer I wanted to hear. Does anyone know a person I can call or how the whole process of what classes can be counted as UC's work?</p>
<p>The way I look at it is if they want Interpersonal Communication on the transcript, what's the big deal?</p>
<p>My college lists UC transferability and also what component of IGETC it qualifies for right on the schedule of classes. If yours doesn’t, try checking out ASSIST.org. Put your school as well as the school you are transferring to down, then there is a drop down list that says “For General Education/Breadth”. Select it and you will get a list of all transferable classes.</p>
<p>This list could be several hundred pages long so CTRL-F is useful and it might have a key at the top that says something like “TB-AH - Topical Breadth - Arts and Humanities” which means you only need to search for ‘TB-AH’ to find something that qualifies for that section, or you could seach for something like ‘SPCH 5’ and see if it turns up.</p>
<p>Sorry to say this, but you’re fighting a seriously steep uphill battle. Not only is Comm @ UCLA hard to get into even as a California CC student (roughly 10% acceptance rate, with 3.8GPA widely considered as the cut-off), but out-of-state transfers have a much lower transfer priority to California universities than locals, or even international students. I suggest you call UCLA Admissions directly and ask to be connected to an advisor who can help you with assessing course compatibility with out-of-state transfers. It’s not going to be a streamlined process as one could expect from a California CC transfer, but I’m pretty sure someone from the school advisors can point you in the right direction.</p>
<p>Don’t they just read the syllabus and decide whether or not the course will transfer? I feel like all your hard work is decided by the little piece of paper at the beginning haha.</p>
<p>I’m in a similar situation to you. I’m a CCC student but I’ll have 8 units from a 4-year OOS university when I transfer. From what I know, the UCLA guy you talked to was right. I asked a counselor from my CC and he told me to submit my transcripts (official only) to the school and that they would take 12-14 weeks to evaluate whether the course is transferable or not once I do so. That’s not the answer I wanted to hear, either. You might want to try asking someone from the institution you’re transferring from about it, but I’m willing to guess that you’ll get a similar answer to mine.</p>
<p>Best of luck </p>
<p>(And yes, Assist.org is only for CA schools.)</p>
