UCD Advice to CC Transfers

Transfer students.

To be eligible for transfer into the College of Engineering you must have at least ninety transferable quarter units (

sixty semester units

) from another institution. To be a

competitive applicant

, you must have a

minimum overall GPA of 3.100

.

Highest

priority

for transfer admission is given to California community college transfer applicants who have

completed two transferable English composition courses

and

all of the required lower division engineering coursework offered at the community college

they attended.

We give lower priority for admission to community college applicants who are missing one or two of the required lower division courses. Community college applicants

will be denied admission

if they are

missing

THREE or

more of the

required

lower-division courses

.

Slide26

Potential Issues

A Student’s Plan MUST meet the Transfer-University DEGREE REQUIRMENTS for the Major chosenCaveat (i.e., Beware)PreReqs often result in “brush up” Courses that Do Not Ultimately Count toward the Baccalaureate degreeThis Happened to the Instructor Started Math at Algebra II, Not Calculus

Slide27

Potential Issues cont.1

Caveat (i.e., Beware) cont.Some LOWER Division Courses May NOT be offered by Chabot (e.g., EME 50) so Plan on Taking Them at the UniversityThis Happened to the Instructor Circuit Engineering NOT offered at my Comm CollegeIf you have to WORK Part-Time to support yourself, PACE your Course Offerings to allow for time on the JobThis Happened to the InstructorWorked at a SuperMarket All Thru the Higher Ed

Slide28

Potential Issues cont.2

Caveat (i.e., Beware) contWorking-Student Pacing Assume that Transfer occurs at the FALL TermMost University Engineering Schools do NOT accept MID-YEAR TransfersMost Transfer Universities have PROGRESS REQUIREMENTS; assume UP TO8 Semesters (4 years) at Chabot5-Semesters or 7-Quarters at the UniversityAt UCD the Progress Requirement is 13 units per QuarterAt UCBerkeley the Progress Requirement is 12 Units Per Semester

Slide29

Potential Issues cont.3

Caveat (i.e., Beware) contBeware of PreReQ CHAINS and BottleNecksSome Courses may Have PreReqs THREE, or More, Levels DeepA Single Course could be a PreReq to MANY More coursese.g.; A Chabot transfer student reported that a “GateKeeper” Dynamics course was required for almost ALL upper-division ME Coures at UCSB (offered ONLY Summer & Spring)VERY CAREFULLY Check all PreReqs

Slide33

Articulation vs Transferability

Articulated

courses Transfer DIRECTLY and ONE-to-ONE against Courses REQUIRED for the BS-Engineering Degree

e.g

;

Chabot ENGR45

counts as

UCLA MatSci104

or

SCUS-Chico MECH210

, etc.

“Transferable” courses apply GENERALLY to the 60 units needed for transfer; they are NON-Required Electives

e.g

; Chabot GEOG-1 transfers to UC/CSU but does NOT apply to BS-Engineering Degrees

Slide34

Beware IGETC

Following IGETC for GE almost always results in Engineering Students Taking TOO MANY GE CoursesIGETC almost always WORKS, but almost always OverDoes GE for Engineers

UCD Progress Reqs

http://

catalog.ucdavis.edu/academicinfo/courseload.html

Expected Progress.

 Undergraduate students are expected to graduate in 12 quarters (four years). To do so, students should plan to complete an average of 15 units per quarter (15 units per quarter for 12 quarters totals 180 units). Because occasions arise which prevent students from achieving expected progress towards the degree, the campus has established minimum progress requirements, to which students must adhere.

Minimum

Progress Requirements.

 To meet minimum progress, a full-time regular undergraduate is required to maintain an

average of at least 13 units passed

over all quarters of enrollment. Minimum progress is calculated at the end of every Spring Quarter for the preceding three quarters (Fall, Winter, Spring) comprising the academic year. Undergraduate students falling below this requirement are not in good minimum progress and may be disqualified from further enrollment at the University. Quarters for which a student was officially approved for part-time status are omitted from the minimum progress calculation. For more information, see 

Probation and Dismissal

.

Certification

of Full-Time Status.

 Undergraduate students

must carry a study load of at least 12 units

(including workload units) each quarter in order to be certified as full-time students for insurance and financial aid purposes or to compete in intercollegiate athletics. Graduate students must carry a study load of at least 12 units each quarter in order to be certified as full-time students.

Course

Loads in the College of Engineering. 

Because of the large number of required units in engineering programs, many students must take more than 15 units per quarter and/or attend summer session to finish in four years.
