Planning to Transfer
Transfer students need to plan their coursework carefully.  Courses they take should, first, help them meet the minimum admission requirements for transfer.  In addition, students should select community college courses that partially or completely fulfill a variety of other University requirements.

Students increase their chances for admission and success after transferring if they develop and follow a pre-transfer plan of college coursework.  Many prospective transfer students know which UC campus and program they wish to attend and have a general knowledge of University requirements, however, this is not enough to ensure a successful transfer.  It is essential that students research the specific requirements of their intended major and campus and the community college courses that are approved to meet these requirements.  The courses students take to meet University requirements must be transferable.  The only exceptions to this are some of the courses used to clear subject deficiencies in the high school program.  (Beginning in fall 1998, all courses must be transferable.) 

Knowing what the requirements are and planning their community college program around them will maximize students' chances for admission to their first-choice campus and program.  Meeting requirements in advance will give students more freedom when selecting courses once they enroll in the University.  They may also be able to complete their undergraduate education within four years, without having to attend additional terms to meet requirements or take prerequisites. Information to assist in the transfer process is available in a variety of UC publications, including Answers for Transfers and the campus General Catalog.  Information is also available in Solano College's UC Transferable Course Agreement and articulation agreements with UC campuses.

Please use www.assist.org to check which Solano classes are transferable to Cal. State or U.C. Campuses.


As a prospective transfer student, it is important to make sure that the community college courses you take are acceptable to the university for transfer credit. ASSIST is California's official statewide repository of transfer information for the CSU and UC university systems, offering easy access to a single database of course transfer information. ASSIST will help you determine if you will receive credit for courses you've already taken or plan to take and how those courses will apply to a specific academic major or general education requirement.

Contact a counselor for details and specific information on UC transfer requirements.
