Hi! This video is presented by the ERC Peer Advisors and it will address how to look

up articulated courses between a community college and UC San Diego.

12/22/2017Courses from Community College to UCSD using Assist.org

An articulated course is a course offered at another institution that has been pre-screened by UC San Diego and is considered to be equivalent or the same as a specific UC San Diego course. These courses, once taken and transferred to UC San Diego, will automatically be considered the same as the specific UC San Diego course and can be used to satisfy major, minor, or general education requirements.

Keep in mind, not all transferrable courses are considered articulated courses.

Though articulated courses are pre-approved, students are encouraged to verify with their respective UCSD Departments or ERC Academic Advising on articulated courses as some majors have strict guidelines on articulated course counting towards requirements.

A transferable course is a course from another institution that can be transferred to UC San Diego for credit.

A UC transferable course means it is accepted for credit at any University of California campus.

This does not guarantee that the course can be used to fulfill a major, minor, or general education requirement at UC San Diego. It just means you will receive credit for taking the course once you complete it and transfer it to UC San Diego.

Assist.org is a website that displays how course credits earned at one California institution can be applied when transferred to another California institution. It provides information on transferable courses and articulated courses.

In this video, we will only be focusing on articulated courses and how to search for them on Assist.org.

To look up articulated courses, visit http://assist.org

For this example, we will be looking up articulated courses between San Diego Mesa College and UC San Diego.

On the “Welcome” page, click on “Click here to select an institution” and select the community college where you have taken courses or plan to attend. We’ll select San Diego Mesa College.

http://assist.org/

Once you have selected your institution, under the Agreements with Other Campuses header, use the drop down menu that says “Click here to select a campus” to select UC San Diego

6


After you have selected UC San Diego, you can search for articulated courses either by UC San Diego major or by the department at your community college or by department at UC San Diego.

7


For this example, we will be looking at courses that articulate to Mathematics courses at UC San Diego.

8


Your results page will look like this if there are articulated courses available.

9


One Column will designate courses at UC San Diego. While the other column shows the articulated course at your community college.

10


Sometimes there is a one-to-one articulation between community college courses at UCSD courses. Other times, there may be more than one option of courses you can take that will articulate to a particular course at UC San Diego. It is also possible that a combination of courses at the community college must be taken to be equivalent to one course at UC San Diego.

11


In this example, the articulated courses for MATH 10B at UC San Diego requires that you take both MATH 121 and 122 at San Diego Mesa College.

12


Keep in mind that there may not be any courses eligible for articulation between the Community college and UC San Diego.

Also, Assist.org is an exhaustive list of articulated and transferrable courses, meaning it shows all courses that are transferrable and articulated but not necessarily whether they’ll be offered in the term you want to take the course. Please check with the community college to see if the course you want will be offered during the term you plan on taking their courses.

For more information about transferable and articulated courses, transferring your course credits to UC San Diego, and using http://assist.org be sure to check out ourother videos.
