CCTS: Fall 2025 Transfer to Success Workshop

I am a Moorpark College student majoring in data science, aiming to transfer to a UC, so, I am currently a participant is UC Berkley’s Community College Transfer Services (CCTS) webinar series, which is all about preparing for the application and your future. This webinar (on 10/07/2025) was focused on the major requirements and general techniques for transfer success.

UC Minimum Eligibility (general)

GPA: 2.4-3.0 GPA for UC transferable courses

  • UCLA/UCSD, UCB - 3.0 GPA minimum
  • UCB College of Engineering - 3.5 GPA minimum Units
  • 60 semester/90 quarter units
  • no more than 14 semester can be pass/no pass Other:
  • Complete all required major prep courses with a C or better
  • General ed, complete all general ed courses by your final spring semester

Strengthen your application:

  • Strong UC GPA, especially in major prep courses
  • fully complete major prep courses
  • strong, reflective, personal insight questions

UC General Education

  1. 7-course Pattern
    Minimum requirement of GE courses to be eligible for UC transfer, does not satisfy ALL lower division requirements

  2. IGETC/CAL-GETC
    Satifies most of the UC lower division GE requirements. IGETC was the old name for it. Not every major/college accepts CalGETC, such as UCB’s College of Engineering. AP Exams can fufill some of the requirements.

  3. Campus specific education
    Uncommon and generally just unique majors/specific cases ex: Liberal arts
    Assist.org

    • Rules for each major, check by campus
    • has all major prep classes listed here
    • Major and Year, confirm the colleges listed are correct
    • Competitve major?
    • Series Rule
    • Required courses vs. Reccomended courses
    • General Education Rules

      Once you’re passed the “wall of text,” there’s the major agreement:
    • Split series (take both parts at the same community college), like a class and the lab of the class, or the A or B of a class series
    • Complete A, B AND C? <– take note of that
    • Strongly reccomended courses = strengthens application
    • No course articulated = do some research. In the required section = you have to take it at another college, otherwise it’s alright

Thank you to the CCTS team:
