Transfer Credit- more info below
Transfer Credit
The transfer credit process is similar for both new students and continuing students.
- New transfer students should follow all transcript deadlines and instructions set my Admissions.
- Continuing UC Davis students, who have taken coursework outside of UC Davis, must send an official transcript to Admissions.
When your transcript is first processed, course credit is most often assigned based on existing agreements that institutions have with UC Davis. Once your transfer credit has been processed by the University, you can check how your coursework transferred using the Academic Record tab in OASIS. If a course is not listed as directly equivalent to a UC Davis course, but you believe that it is equivalent, follow the steps to request Course Equivalency.
| Institution Type | Course Equivalency |
|---|---|
| California Community College | Check assist.org; all courses transfer as lower division (except the CHE 118 series) |
| 4-year institutions; Private universities; Out of state universities; Military universities | Check the Transfer Evaluation System (TES) to see if your course has been approved for equivalency to a UC Davis course. Course equivalencies can expire, so pay close attention to the "End Date" listed If a course is not listed here, you can check with the department that offers the course you believe you have taken the equivalent of. For example, Psychology approved equivalencies, Statistics approved equivalencies, etc. |
