Footnotes on the UC Transfer Course Agreement (TCA) on ASSIST are instrumental in our evaluation process• To determine awarding of transfer credit
• Calculation of the GPA UC uses
• To ensure students are not short of units
12
TCA Footnotes
Ensuring Transfer Success 2014
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.

Examples of Counting Units
Ensuring Transfer Success 2014
60 sem units Berkeley City College+ 24 sem units San Francisco State (4 Lower Div units and 20 Upper Div units) + 15 sem units Pepperdine Univ (all Upper Div units )
Total = 99 sem units
Lower Division total is 64 sem (60 BCC + 4 PU)- LD limit not exceeded
Add all Upper Division Units
• Dean’s Review required for some campuses• Most campuses will not offer admission
22
Examples of Counting Units
Ensuring Transfer Success 2014
76.5 sem units Modesto Jr College+ 16 sem units UC Merced - All UC units are added+ 15 sem units Oxnard College
Total = 107.5 sem units.21.5 excess lower division units
(76.5 MJC + 15 Oxnard = 91.5)107.5 – 21.5 = 85 sem units
Total: 85 sem units
• Dean’s Review required by some campuses
