Before I begin, I just want to thank everybody on this forum that makes this website so great. College Confidential has been such a great resource for me ever since I registered back in my senior year in high school looking for help in my personal statement and filling out the UC form.
As many of you already know, UC applications has just opened up and I’m looking into completing it before I start my 2nd year of school in UC Riverside in the middle of September. Although already in a UC school, I am applying as a UC to UC inter-campus transfer student, which I believe is quite rare. Although the application, for the most part, has not changed for me, there are still some text fields that are confusing me. I would be stoked if anyone could lead me to the right direction.
Edit: CollegeConfidential is censoring my links out. The stars should represent “imgur . com” sorry for the inconvenience…
Here is a quick picture of what I filled out in the beginning (No issues here): http://i.imgur.com/LwyX6ti.png
So for the first box, I put the date period that I am planning to stay in UC Riverside if I do not transfer. I am guessing that since i finished my spring quarter last at June, I am supposed to put June 2015 as the end date? Or rather, do I put June 2016 as the end date because if I do transfer, June 2016 will be my last quarter at UC Riverside?
In the degree section, I will be receiving a BS in Computer Science if I stay in UC Riverside so it made sense to select Bachelor’s in the box, which was not allowed.
So I just filled it out like this and I’m not sure if this will be OK: http://i.imgur.com/gFlTaCd.png
Next page after that gives me a few questions: http://i.imgur.com/jCXNFQl.png
Where do I get what is supposed to be in the Dept Box and Course No? For the course title I’m thinking of just copying the course name word for word from the UC Riverside’s database of classes.
Hi there, successful intercampus transfer here. You would put June 2016 as the end date because that would be your last month at UCR if you successfully transfer. You do not check Bachelor’s degree, because by the time you leave UCR you will not have received a Bachelor’s if you transfer. There should be a box that says “no degree” or something like that, because you will not have received a degree at that point. Do not put “other.”
Department and course number are exactly what it sounds like. And I recommend for the course title, put the name of the course that would be seen in the course catalogue. ex. “Math 3A - Introduction to Linear Algebra”
Thank you for the response @fncrane . Congratulations on successfully transferring! Sorry if I’m being dumb but I am still not sure what to fill in the department and course number boxes. For the department, if, for example, I took a CS10 class, do I put CS in the department box? And also, I am not completely sure where to obtain the course number. For example, here is what I see when looking at a specific course in UCR’s registrar of classes. http://i.imgur.com/3ey8qVz.png I was thinking it might be the call number but it is a unique number (Two CS10 classes have different call numbers)
@fncrane It seems that for the degree received or to be recieved, there is no option for no degree! The only options are Associate’s, Bachelor’s Master’s Ph.D, and other. Sorry for the late reply!
I had the same problem last year, I emailed the application center about it and they fixed it after a while. It might be a glitch that’s up after a bit. You could email them and ask about it.
@fncrane Sorry if this is another stupid question, but misc. classes with no grades/units should not be added in right? Like my discussion/labs and learning community classes have no units and no grades. Thanks again.
Also got stuck on the question: Prior to transfer, will you complete one transferable college courses in Mathematical Concepts and Qualitative Reasoning?
Can I list any math course that I have taken? I took a whole year of college level calculus in my freshman year and I’m planning to take linear algebra, etc.
Sorry for the abundance of questions. I just want to make sure I fill out the application correctly. Thanks again.
Hi all! I’m also a hopeful intercampus transfer and I have a few questions:
Under Academic History (Step 3 of 4, Part 2) it says “Prior to transfer, will you be certified for completion of the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC)?”
IGETC is for community college transfers, but as a UC to UC transfer do we check yes or no? If I’m planning to finish all my GEs for UC Reciprocity, do I check yes for this section? I’m not sure which option to check, as I don’t want it to affect my admission.
Also, for the question “Did you complete the UC general education requirements?” is this asking if I completed GEs before submitting the application, or is it asking if my GEs will be completed by the end of spring quarter?
Should I list important/long-term high school extracurriculars or are high school ECs irrelevant?
If I get rejected from my first major, is there a chance that I get accepted for my alternate major? Is listing an alternate major of any importance?
I took a summer class at a ccc 2 summers ago (while in high school), should I list it? I took another class at the same cc this summer and entering it in the Academic History section is complicated because I’ve only been there 2 summers but if I add it to the Academic History section, it says I was enrolled at the cc from 06/2013 - 08/2015. Or should I email the app center?
Yes you should definitely list them, especially if they're good ones
It depends on where you're applying. I know at UCLA the alternate major is only considered for TAP applicants (which doesn't apply to intercampus transfers). But generally alternate majors aren't important, I don't think.
Yes you should list it. I'm not sure about the dates part though. You should be able to list it based on the summer that you took it in, and I think the enrollment thing is just a technicality. Not sure about that though.
@fncrane Another question and hopefully the last one!
I had some classes that were worth 0 units and had a blank grade. In the picture http://i.imgur.com/w6YmCKs.png its the first class. So I was wondering what i put in the UC application. In this case i was thinking to put PS for pass?
On the other hand, if i have a course (that counts for units) that has a grade S for satisfactory (graded on a pass-fail basis), should i put CR for credit or PS for pass? I don’t think there are any other choices that make sense other than these two. Thank you.
