One other thing inter-UC transfers should look into is reciprocity for general-ed. The GE requirements differ slightly between UCs so it’s likely you’d need to take one or more classes once you transfer to finish GEs. UC realizes this and offers what is called reciprocity. If you finish the GE requirements at your current UC prior to transfer you can get a letter from the Registrar to that effect and the new UC will accept that as fulfilling your GEs. See for example registrar.ucsc.edu/navigator/section1/transfer/reciprocity%20.html
