Two similar courses, each is transferable, but if a student takes both, UC will award credit for only one course. (e.g. College Algebra and Precalculus) Two series of courses, UC will award credit for only one series. (e.g. Business Calculus & Calculus for science and engineering) Total transferable units will be reduced. 13 Limitations Ensuring Transfer Success 2014

How much credit will UC award for the 3 courses completed below? 9 units? TCA Footnotes: 1 Maximum credit allowed for Poli Sci 101 is one unit if taken after Poli Sci105 or Soc Sci 132; 2 No credit for Poli Sci 105 if taken after Poli Sci 101 or Soc Sci Maximum credit allowed for Soc Sci 132 if taken after Poli Sci 101 or Poli Sci 105 is two units 14 Partial Credit SOC SCI132Intro to Social Science4 units POL SCI105Amer Political Ideals2 units POL SCI101Intro to Government3 units Ensuring Transfer Success 2014
