Decoding University Lingo

This week we’ll investigate the meaning of "Articulation Agreements"

Taking Courses at a Community College this Summer?

If you are planning to take a course at a community college to fulfill your GE, then go here for a list of articulation agreements between UCLA and some of the most popular community colleges. If your JC is among those listed, most of your work is done — simply click on the link and a screen will pop up listing the classes that are equivalent to our GEs.

If your JC is not on that list, you can get an approximate idea of how a course would transfer back to UCLA by visiting assist.org. For a variety of reasons this site is not 100% accurate, however, and so you should always double check the information you find there with a counselor in your advising unit.

Here are some additional restrictions to be aware of:

  • Senior Residency Requirement: In order to be in compliance with the UCLA College residency requirement, you must earn 35 of your final 45 units in residence at UCLA. This requirement is referred to as the "Senior Residency" requirement because it is during your senior year that you will accumulate the last 45 units you need to graduate--only 10 of which may be taken outside of UCLA. Any of these units can be earned through UCLA Summer Sessions.
  • After you have completed 105 units, you will no longer be allowed to gain units from course work taken at a Community College. You only satisfy requirements, such as GE.
  • Your grades earned at a community college or a Cal State school will not factor into your UCLA GPA. Grades from other UCs will.

Julie- Never really figured how she managed to work at all with her Quadruple major (East Asian Studies, History, Anthropology and Asian American Studies) but she did, graduating in 4 years + 1 summer. Thank you for sharing some of that energy and time management with us.

Each and every student makes a contribution to UCLA, these graduating seniors more than most. Missing you already, Cathy.
