<p>Hello, i attend a Suny community college in New York and plan on attending UCSB next fall. There are two main questions that i can never seem to get answers too.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>When applying to UCSB do i declare my major as pre-communication or Communication? It would have to be Pre cause i didnt take the required COM classes at UCSB yet right?</p></li>
<li><p>How in the world do i find out what classes are transferable? The college doesn't tell you till after you apply, my college has a bunch of idiots working there, and comparing to the catalog just is not good enough.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>So you realize that you are an OOS transfer and you will be paying full cost, right?</p>
<p>Your major would be Communications; as an “upper” classman, the “Pre” courses should have been completed.</p>
<p>The UC’s have agreements with the CC’s in California, not with every CC that is OOS. You have to have a copy of each syllabus for each class you took. UC can choose not to accept a number of your courses; my husband did some college coursework as a HS student at SDSU across town, and a number of his courses didn’t transfer! That was just across town.</p>
<p>Contact Admissions at UCSB and ask them which courses will transfer before you apply. You may not qualify to get in if you don’t have the right coursework.<br>
Priority for Transfers goes like this:<br>
-California Community College Junior level transfers
-Junior level transfers from other California Colleges and UC’s
-OOS transfers.

<p>Before you book your flight, you had better check if you meet the minimal requirements.</p>
<p>Unless you have a high GPA not good, when it comes to community college transfers California has priority, it is very very rare to see a OOS CC student. I have never encountered one at UCLA</p>
