University of California - Transfer Courses 2025-2026
Variable Topic Courses
Variable Topics courses refer to 680’s, Selected Topics, 690’s, Research Projects, and 695’s, Independent Study. Credit for these courses is given only after a review of the course outline by the enrolling UC campus. This usually occurs after transfer. UC will not give credit for variable topics courses in Journalism, Health, Business Administration, Architecture, or Library Departments due to credit restrictions in those areas.
Physical Education Activity Courses - Limitations
The University of California gives a maximum of four semester units of credit for Physical education activity courses.
Please Note:
Additional UC transferable courses may be added to the list below for the 2025-2026 Academic Year. Once they are approved by UC, they will be posted online. Please see a counselor and/or www.assist.org for up-to-date information.
