Academics

Coursework for non-UC programs is not pre-approved, nor guaranteed, to earn credit at UCLA. Coursework will be considered for transfer credit by the UCLA Undergraduate Admissions Office upon program completion and submission of an official transcript. Students should carefully select their courses and consult with their UCLA academic advisor(s) as needed for guidance.

For courses to be eligible for transfer:

• Courses must be academic in nature;
• Coursework must be similar to that offered at UCLA;
• Students must receive a C equivalent or higher;
• Students must submit an official university transcript*;

Transcript Note*: It is the responsibility of a student to ensure their program provides an acceptable transcript. Courses that are not properly transcribed may not transfer. UCLA will only accept an official, sealed transcript from a degree-granting college or university. The institution must be an accredited US institution of higher learning or a foreign institution recognized by their ministry of education. All credits must post as the institutions own degree credit, not as transfer credit.

All non-UC program participants must submit an official transcript to the UCLA Admissions Office. See below for methods of submission.

Once your official transcript has been processed and courses have been approved for credit, the units will appear on your DARs as transfer credit. At that point, you may petition with the respective UCLA Department(s) to satisfy major, minor, G.E, or any other UCLA degree requirement(s). Consult with the individual UCLA department/advisor on the petition process.
