I’m a bit confused on the English course requirements for TAG. It says that you are required to have taken two English courses, however I passes the AP English Composition Test, so I never had to take an English class while attending me CSU. (I’m a CSU student looking to transfer to a UC)
From what I understand of what @goldencub researched, if you use your AP English grades to complete the IGETC at a CCC then most UC’s won’t care if you took the course or use the test.
That said, if you’re not doing IGETC then you should look into each UC’s policies and the policies of the colleges/departments the major you’re interested in says about transfer credits. For example I want to transfer to UC Berkeley’s College of Letters and Sciences. If a student doesn’t get IGETC certification as a transfer L&S requires them to complete the specific L&S Breadth which doesn’t accept AP English as an acceptable equivalent.
If you’re in doubt call up the UC office and confirm for yourself. Only the college can give you confirmation.
