Meeting English/math requirements for UC transfer

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>So I plan on using TAG to transfer and here's what UCI's TAG requirements say</p>

<p>"has completed one UC-transferable English course with a grade of C or better by the end of the summer 2012 term (second UC-transferable English course must be completed by spring 2013)"</p>

<p>and here's what the University of California's transfer admission page says</p>

<p>"Entry-level writing requirement</p>

<p>You must satisfy the entry-level writing requirement to graduate in any program at UC. One way to meet this requirement is to complete a transferable college course of three semester (four quarter) units in English composition with a grade of C or better. Students who meet our basic requirements for minimal transfer eligibility, which include two transferable college courses in English composition, satisfy the entry-level writing requirement.</p>

<p>Many transfer students fulfill this requirement while in high school by achieving minimum scores on the following tests:</p>

<p>3 on the College Board Advanced Placement Examination in English (Language or Literature)
5 on the International Baccalaureate Higher Level Examination in English (Language A only)
6 on the IB Standard Level Examination in English (Language A only)
30 on the ACT Plus Writing test; or 680 on the Writing section of the SAT Reasoning Test"</p>

<p>I passed the AP Lang and the AP Lit exam so I am wondering if I have to take Eng100 and Eng101 at my community college (I can bypass Eng100 but if I do need to take an English class, the other levels are harder for me to get into since it's crowded)? I would think that my AP scores excuse me from taking an English course but since I did not receive a grade (C or higher), I'm not sure if it will meet the TAG requirement. </p>

<p>Also, TAG requires that I complete one UC-transferable math course by the end of summer 2012 and I have credit from a Cal State because my teacher in high school was also a college professor who gave his students a grade at a Cal State. I should be fine then, right? Because I did receive a grade for Calc AB and Calc BC. </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>You should bring question this to your college counselor. They can tell you exactly what classes your AP tests will articulate with. More than likely though it sounds like you’ll be exempt from at least the English composition class. </p>
