<p>The update is asking whether I have any transferable courses in English in Mathematics and my school is not listed on Assist.org. Only the "from" option is available and not the "to" so I can't see if my courses are indeed transferable. Any suggestions?</p>
<p>I’m transferring from a CSU too. What I did was this:</p>
<p>open two ASSIST tabs on the Internet.
One tab was from my local CC -> UC
Second tab was from my local CC -> CSU</p>
<p>on the first tab, I looked for the CC course that transfers to the UC
and then I went to the second tab and looked for that CC course, and whether it matched up with my CSU courses that I have taken.</p>
<p>It’s a hassle but it worked for me.</p>
<p>Nicolemae’s suggestion is the closest you can get… it’s usually pretty easy to determine based off of the descriptions too… if you have any specific questions you should try calling the admissions office or maybe post them on here? If you post the course title and descriptions maybe a second opinion would help.</p>
<p>Can someone recommend me the phone number to call? Should I call a specific school or is there a system for the uc system in general? Thanks.</p>
<p>no, there isn’t a UC-wide number to call. Nor would I call a specific admissions office and ask them whether any of the classes that you’ve taken have satisfied the requirements, such a broad question would be a little rude. You have to do your homework first =).</p>
<p>You’ll want to do what Nicolemae suggested first to see which of your courses have clear equivalents… you can rest pretty safely on those.</p>
<p>If you have any obscure courses that don’t have clear equivalents within your target UC’s catalog, then I would call the admissions office about those very specific questions.</p>
<p>The admissions office has the exact same information to go off of as you do though. They’ll look at the types of courses that satisfy each requirement, look at the class you took, and if it’s a general fit then it should be fine.</p>
<p>For example, I took RWS 110 (Rhetoric/English class) at a CSU. I looked at the articulation agreement between my CSU and a nearby CCC, and noticed that RWS 110 = English 200 at this CCC. From there I looked at the articulation agreement between the CCC and Berkeley and saw that English 200 at this CCC = English R1B at Berkeley (one of two requirements in English).</p>
<p>So, my RWS 110 = English R1B even though there is no set rule saying so. You pretty much just have to do this with every class, and this is what the admissions office is going to do when they review your application.</p>
<p>Thanks for your help SDSGuy. I’ve tried the suggestions listed above, but have run into a problem. At my CSU I took a Humanities honor course for 2 years that fulfilled most of the GE requirements at my school including English. </p>
<p>Using the articulation list UCB gave for the Reading and Composition Requirement portion of their update I was able to find out that my courses are equivelant to the following:</p>
<p>Humanities 1A + 1B EQUALS UCB R1A
Humanities 2A + 2B EQUALS UCB R1B</p>
<p>However I’m not sure if these courses count as my two English courses or whether they are solely for the Reading and Composition Requirement.</p>
<p>I’m not sure what the requirements are for the department that you’re transferring to, but if the Humanities courses were basic entry level ones, then they probably do only satisfy the R1A and R1B requirements. I’m assuming you’re transferring into a program that requires more than just those two English classes, in which case yeah you would need to take however many more courses are required… As far as I know Berkeley never lets classes fulfill more than one requirement.</p>
<p>But I don’t know all the details about what program you’re transferring into and what other classes you’ve taken… so this type of question is definitely a good one for the admissions department of whatever program you’re transferring into! They’re all really nice if you have questions that are narrowed down and to the point.</p>
<p>Good Luck =)</p>
